The Federal High Court in Abuja has adjourned for hearing the bail application filed by the former chairman of defunct Pension Reform Task Team, Abdulrasheed Maina, until November 6.
Justice Okon Abang ruled on Wednesday after taking the arguments of the defence and prosecution counsels.

Maina is being prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on a 12-count charge bordering on “money laundering, operating fictitious bank accounts and fraud.”
Maina pleaded not guilty to all the charges.
The judge had on October 25 fixed Wednesday for trial, after listening to the submissions of both counsels and ordered the EFCC to remand Maina in the Nigerian Correctional Service centre.

Maina is accused of being involved in pension fraud running into over N100 billion.
His son, Faisal, is also being tried in the same court on a three-count charge.
