Abdulrasheed Maina a former Chairman of the defunct Pension Reformed Task Force Team, has collapsed during the resumed hearing in his N2bn money laundering trial on Thursday, at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
The sitting was scheduled for the hearing of the defendant’s no-case submission, following the close of the prosecution’s case with nine witnesses on Wednesday.
As at the time of filing this report, the former pensions reform chairman was still being attended to by court-assigned medical officers.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Maina had, through his counsel, told the court on Wednesday that he had no case to answer in the allegations levied against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Maina, had earlier told Justice Abang, shortly after counsel to the EFCC, Farouk Abdullah, had closed the commission’s case, that he would be filing a no-case submission.
