Former chairman of defunct Pension Reform Task Team, Abdulrasheed Maina, on Monday, arrived at the Federal High Court, Abuja, with the aid of a walking stick.
Maina is charged with 12 counts bordering on money laundering, operating fictitious bank accounts and fraud levelled against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

He arrived in court around 9:40 am dressed in brown caftan and a cap.
Justice Okon Abang had on November 21 fixed Monday for hearing on Maina’s bail application and for continuation of his trial.
The judge, who accused the Nigerian Correctional Services (NCS) of compounding the issue before the court for failure to produce a medical report on the health status of Maina days after the order to the effect was made by the court, ruled that Maina’s trial would be on a day-to-day basis in subsequent proceedings.

At the last adjourned date, Maina bled from his nostrils and was supported by prison officials and relatives.
Maina is listed as first respondent in the case alongside a firm, Common Input Property and Investment Ltd, as second respondent.
