The trial of former Chairman, Pension Reform Task Team, Abdulrasheed Maina, charged with 12 counts bordering on “money laundering, operating fictitious bank accounts and fraud,

reports that Maina was, on October 25, arraigned alongside a firm, Common Input Property and Investment Ltd, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission before Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court, Abuja.

NAN reports that on Monday, the court also adjourned until Tuesday to take Maina’s application seeking an abridgment of time to hear his bail application earlier fixed for November 19 and also for continuation of evidence by the prosecution’s first witness.Neither the prosecution counsel nor the defence counsel could explain the reason for his absence, until an official of the Nigerian Correctional Service signaled to the judge indicating that he had a letter for the court.

“My Lord, the 1st defendant told me I should tell the court, on his behalf, that on October 25 of this month, he was before the court and while the court was on, the court asked him not to look at him. Maina consequently sought the indulgence of the court if the case could be reassigned to another judge.

Corroborating the argument, counsel to the 2nd defendant, Adeola Adedipe, aligned himself with the submission of Maina’s lawyer. Abubakar, therefore, prayed the court to make an order that the Deputy Comptroller General of the Nigerian Correctional Service in charge of Medical and Welfare, who is a medical doctor, should personally examine Maina and make a report on his health condition to the court.
