Unable to import mesh due to a face consisting of 9 vertices, expecting triangles (3) or quads (4).

Im getting this errror right now but even though i take it to maya and clean up the mesh, its still saying the same thing

Tried triangulating it and a lot more but just not working. Any suggestions??
