The Senate arrived at the decision after Senator Isah Misau raised the issue during plenary Tuesday, October 24, under order 43.
Misau urged the lawmakers look into the matter which he described as urgent. In supporting the motion, Senator Olusola Adeyeye said the recall of Maina showed that certain people in the executive were working against the government. On his part, Senator Atai Aidoko said the issue in contention was who brought Maina into office if the minister of nterior says he did not do so. Another lawmaker, Senator Akpan Bassey, said those who tried to undermine the country should be brought to book. After deliberating on the issue, the Senate mandated the chairmen and vice- chairman of committees on interior, judiciary, anti-corruption and public service establishment to determine the circumstances surrounding Maina’s return to the country and how he was reinstated to the service and got promoted to the post of director after dismissal.
