Maina to remain in prison during trial, court rules
A Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday declined to grant a new application for bail brought by former Chairman of the defunct Pension Reform Task Team (PRTT), Abdulrasheed Maina, who is facing trial for alleged money laundering related offences.
In a ruling, Justice Okon Abang, who held that the application was without merit, said Maina did not deserve being granted bail again after jumping an earlier bail.
Maina, who is being tried with his firm, abandoned court in the last quarter of last year, following which the court, on November 18, 2020, revoked his bail and ordered his arrest.
Upon being returned to prison, his lawyer, Francis Oronsaye, withdrew from the case and a new lawyer, Anayo Adibe, filed the new bail application.
In his ruling yesterday, Justice Abang held that Maina failed to place sufficient materials before the court to convince it that he deserved another bail.
