EFCC Produces Former PRTT Chairman, Abdulrasheed Maina In Court
December 04, 2020
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has produced Abdulrasheed Maina for Friday’s proceedings of his trial at the Federal High Court in Abuja. Mr Maina who served as the Chairman of the defunct Pension Reform Taskforce Team is being prosecuted by the EFCC on ₦2 billion money laundering charges.
His surety, Senator Ali Ndume, was imprisoned by the court but later granted bail after spending five days in detention after he jumped bail and fled to the Republic of Niger.
Mr Abdulrasheed Maina was extradited to Nigeria on Thursday about two weeks after the court revoked his bail, ordered his arrest and directed that his trial would proceed in his absence pending when security agencies would be able to apprehend him.
He was produced in at about 8.27 am ahead of the proceedings scheduled to commence by 9 am on Friday and was spotted sitting between two EFCC operatives in the courtroom.
