Abdulrasheed Maina has pleaded not guilty to the 12 charges preferred against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The former chairman of the Pension Reform Task Team (PRTT) is being arraigned today alongside his son, Faisal, who is a final year Telecommunications Engineering student in a Dubai University.
The case is currently being heard at a Federal High Court in Abuja. The Judge presiding over the case is Justice Okon Abang while the Prosecutor is Mr M. Abubakar. Mr Ahmed Raji is representing Abdulrasheed Maina.
Maina and his son were arrested on September 30, 2019, at an Abuja hotel by the Department of State Services (DSS) and subsequently handed over to the EFCC on October 2 for further investigation and prosecution on allegations of fraud and money laundering to the tune of N2.1 billion.
