The EFCC said is granted bail, Maina, with the huge funds at his disposal, would compromise its witnesses, some of whom are his blood relations and family members. “The first defendant/applicant is not a responsible citizen, rather he has been a fugitive of law for seven years until his eventual arrest on 30th September, 2019 when he was arrested following a joint operation of Secret Security Service .”
The judge directed the Deputy Controller –General , Nigeria Correctional Service, Husseina Kori Bah to ensure a re-examination of Maina in order to ascertain his state of health.The order followed a report presented to the court from Medium Security Custodial Centre, Kuje alleging that Maina cannot withstand trial due to severe headache and dizziness.The ex-pension boss was arraigned on October 25 on a 12-count charge of money laundering.
“He presented with the history of severe headache, dizziness, vomiting of blood and unsteady gait. He was found to be verily in need of a comprehensive medical evaluation in a tertiary hospital. After arguments by the prosecution and defence, Justice Abang fixed Thursday for ruling on the bail application by Maina.
