The Federal High Court, Abuja, on Thursday, failed to deliver a ruling on the application by the Chairman of the defunct Pension Reform Task Team (PRTT), Abdulrasheed Maina, for variation of his bail conditions.

The judge, Okon Abang, who made this known during the proceeding, said the ruling, though was not ready, it was still within time.

The judge said the court registrar had called his attention to the publication before sitting in the morning. The judge held that the publication was a direct violation of Section 133 Subsection 4 of the Criminal Code and that any one that was guilty of the offence was liable to be committed to prison for contempt of court.

Also speaking, Counsel to 2nd defendant , Adeola Adedipe, adopted the submission by counsel to the prosecution and Maina. “We are ministers in the temple of justice and we shall remain so for all intents and purposes,” Mr Adedipe said.
