Former chairman of the defunct Pension Reform Task Team, Abdulrasheed Maina, standing trail for misappropriating N2bn pension funds, has been released from the Kuje prison in Abuja.
Mr Maina, who was arraigned before the Federal High Court, Abuja, presided over by Okon Abang, on October 25, 2019, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) alongside his son, Faisal, and firm, Common Input Property and Investment Ltd., had been in detention since the period.
Maina, who has been in detention since November 2019 has been released just a month after Senator Ali Ndume stood surety for him.
His lawyer, Adedamola Adedipe who spoke to Punch News stated that ““He (Maina) was released about 6pm on Monday. We are happy that he had been released. He can now attend to his health and have unfettered access to his defence team in preparation for his defence in court,”
