Umar told the Committee, chaired by Mark
Gbillah, that mutual legal assistance (MLA) processes were followed in a bid
to bring Diezani back but the UK government refused.
He said his
efforts led to the arrest and repatriation of the former head of pension
funds, Abdulrasheed Maina, and the former Attorney General of the Federation,
Mohammed Adoke (SAN).

swindled the Nigerian government. I went personally and brought Maina from

other Nigerians who absconded.
“We brought them back to face
justice and those who are in Nigeria hiding we took them back to their various
countries to face justice.
