Pension Fraud: Court Revokes Maina’s Son Bail
Orders his arrest, summons surety Hon Dan-Galadima
The Federal High Court sitting Abuja has revoked the bail granted to Faisal Maina, son of ex-Chairman, defunct Pension Reformed Task Team, Abdulrasheed Maina, for failure to appear for his trial.
Typically playing out the popular saying; Like father, like son, the Court which had earlier revoked the bail granted the older Mains also dealt the similar blow on the younger one for jumping bail.
Justice Okon Abang, who made the order on Tuesday, also issued a bench warrant for Faisal’s arrest “anywhere he is sighted by security agencies.”
Also, the Court summoned Faisal’s surety, Hon Sani Umar Dan-Galadima, representing Kaura Namoda Federal Constituency of Zamfara, to appear before it on Wednesday, November 25, 2020 to show cause why he should not forfeit the bail bond following Faisal’s non-appearance in court for trial
The court had on November 26, 2019, admitted Faisal to bail in the sum of N60 million with a surety in the like sum who must be a member of the House of Representatives.
Dan-Galadima had deposed to an affidavit of means, on Dec. 11, 2019, to always come to court at every adjourned date and produce Faisal in court. – With NAN reports
