Premium Times reports that Mr Maina and the secret police had been involved in this ‘curious relationship’ for a while.
Even while presumably on the run, Maina received security protection from the Nigeria Police Force and the SSS who also allegedly provided a hideout for him.

Recall that President Muhammad Buhari had ordered Maina’s disengagement from service less than 24 hours after he was purportedly recalled and promoted on the advice of the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami. Following this development, however, the former pension boss has gone into hiding again.
Maina was accused of N2 billion pension fraud.
According to the newspaper, Maina, through a certain Khalid Ali Biu (a Banker sibling of his) opened a corporate bank account in the name of Cluster Logistics Limited, at Fidelity Bank.
While Mr. Biu doubles as the account officer and a director in the fake company, Mr Maina was also named as a signatory to the account.
According to Premium Times, investigators discovered that the account had over N500 million cash inflow that were mostly cash deposits made between 2011 and 2013. Withdrawals from the accounts were also largely in cash which was subsequently changed to dollars.
Furthermore, PT claims that transaction details on the account allegedly show that only the SSS made deposits into the account over a one-year period. The security outfit paid a total of over N152 million. It first made a payment of N61 million on November 16, 2011 and the last made on November 14, 2012.
One of the deposits show that it was made in the name of “DSS Pension Biometrics”.

The discovery of the account details, according to a source, “unsettled the SSS despite the EFCC’s effort at downplaying the matter in the spirit of inter-agency esprit de corp.
“Now that the whole case is being revisited it is important for the president to order for forensic investigation into the SSS pension department,” an EFCC official said.
Another EFCC official who spoke on the condition of anonymity said before the recent controversy over Mr. Maina’s matter, the commission was already preparing to arraign some of the bankers who aided the alleged money laundering.
