July 16, (THEWILL) – A Federal High Court, Abuja, presided over by Justice Okon Abang, on Friday, fixed October 2, 2021, for judgement in the trial of Faisal, son of the embattled Chairman, defunct Pension Reform Task Team (PRTT), Abdulrasheed Maina.
The court fixed the date after counsel to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mohammed Abubakar, adopted his final written address.
THEWILL had reported that Faisal, who was arraigned by the EFCC on October 25, 2019, jumped bail around September 2020 and stopped attending his trial.
Justice Abang, who issued a warrant for his arrest, ordered on November 24, 2020 for the trial to continue in his absence after the EFCC made the application to the effect.
Faisal, who is being prosecuted along with his father, Maina, is standing a separate trial on a three-count charge bordering on money laundering.
