But the charges were later amended after the anti-graft Commission separated the parts involving a former head of Presidential Pension Task Force, Abdulrasheed Maina, who was then at large. Equally charged alongside Oronsaye by the EFCC were three companies – Cluster Logistic Limited; Kangolo Dynamic Cleaning Limited, and Drew Investment & Construction Company Limited.
