The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has confirmed to the court on Thursday that Faisal, son of the former Chairman of the defunct Pension Reform Taskforce Team, Abdulrasheed Maina, has been arrested.

The EFCC said the 21-year-old Faisal, who jumped bail on June 24, was apprehended by security operatives on Wednesday night.

Faisal is facing a three-count money laundering charge the anti-graft agency preferred against him.

Trial Justice Okon Abang had in a ruling on November 24, revoked his bail, even as he issued a bench warrant for security agencies to arrest him wherever he is found.

Thelagostimes had earlier reported that his father, Abdulrasheed Maina on Thursday, December 10, collapsed before a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja during his trial.

Maina fainted when his lawyer, Anayo Adibe, was addressing the court before Justice Okon Abang who was presiding over his case. The development forced the court proceeding to end in order for officials of the Correctional Service and family members of Maina to attend to him.
