Abdulrasheed Maina, the former chairman of the now-defunct Pension Reform Task Team, has reportedly collapsed in Abuja. The incident happened on Tuesday near his office premises, raising concern among associates and members of the public.

According to his media aide, Emmanuel Nweke, Maina lost consciousness after falling while attempting to enter the building. He reportedly slipped on a staircase and hit his head during the fall, an incident linked to complications from a long-standing knee injury that had not received proper medical attention.

Medical personnel who were nearby quickly provided first aid before he was taken to a private hospital in Abuja for further treatment. Sources said Maina is currently under close medical supervision, and doctors have advised that an air ambulance evacuation may be considered if his condition does not improve within a short period.

His family has appealed for prayers, understanding, and privacy as he continues to receive medical care. The incident comes shortly after Maina was released from the Kuje Correctional Centre, where he served a jail term following his conviction for pension-related fraud involving billions of naira.
