Security in and around the Federal High Court, Abuja, was on Friday beefed up by operatives of the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) as Abdulrasheed Maina, former Chairman, Pension Reform Task Team, is to be arraigned.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Maina’s son, Faisal, is also being arraigned in the same court on a separate but similar charge.
NAN reports that at Court 6, 2nd Floor of the building, where Justice Okon Abang will be adjudicating, it was filled with a crowd of lawyers and people.
Maina and his son were putting on white caftan with dark blue caps.
The case was, however, yet to be mentioned as at 10:30 am.
TheLagostimes gathered that the anti-graft agency is arraigning the former pension task team chairman on a 12-count bordering on “money laundering, operating fictitious bank accounts and fraud.”
