Having said there are a couple of people protecting the wanted former boss of the Presidential Task Force on Pension Reforms, Abdulrasheed Maina, making his arrest almost impossible, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is considering placing a bounty on him.

According to Punch, this was disclosed by a senior EFCC official (who asked to remain anonymous) on Tuesday.

The official said no figure had been decided but added that attaching a reward to his arrest might be the best option as the same approach had made the whistle-blower policy successful.
