A lawyer Adeola Adedipe engaged by a former chairman of the defunct Pension Reform Task Team Abulrasheed Maina has applied to be removed from the money laundering case.
Maina is facing charges before a Federal High Court in Abuja. But his bail has since been revoked by the court after he jumped bail.
Mr Adedipe who is representing Maina’s company Common Input Property and Investment Ltd told the court on Wednesday that he has filed a notice to withdraw from further representing the company.
The lawyer said he has not been paid by his client.
He also apologised for being absent from proceedings during some of the recent adjournments.
But Justice Okon Abang said the notice the lawyer claimed to have filed was not in the court’s file.
The case was adjourned till December 4 for continuation of trial.
