Popular human rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN) has denied the allegations that he bought a house from the embattled former Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Pension Reform, Abdulrasheed Maina. Falana was responding to Maiana's lawyer, Sani Katu who had accused him of being a beneficiary of the recovered asset.
According to him;
“It was because the lawyer was a beneficiary of the recovered assets that he has resorted to attacking Maina, fearing that he would be exposed. During the assignment of the Maina Led Pension Reform Task Force Team, it recovered assets and funds worth N1.6trillion. Amongst the real Estates recovered from pension thieves is a Maitama mansion worth N1billion situated at No 42 Gana Street, Maitama Abuja.”
Speaking in Lagos on Tuesday, Falana denied the claim and challenged the lawyer to give details of the property he bought from Maina.
“Which house? Where is it located? Is it in Lagos or Abuja. Let him give details of the house. I have never met him or had any dealings with him before. He is engaging in the reckless blackmail because I criticized the careless handling of his matter by the federal government,” he added
