Justice Okon Abang delivered the verdict, following the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) application made by prosecution counsel, Mohammed Abubakar.<\/p>\n

The EFCC is prosecuting Maina over allegations of N2bn money laundering.<\/p>\n

Maina had jumped bail and fled to the Republic of Niger, but was produced in court on Friday, following his extradition to Nigeria yesterday.<\/p>\n

Ruling on the EFCC\u2019s application for a remand order, Justice Abang said, \u201cThe defendant is already on bench warrant having jumped bail.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo he shall be remanded in correctional centre pending the conclusion of the trial.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adaji Abel, a lawyer who newly took over Maina\u2019s defence, appealed for an adjournment of the case to enable him to prepare adequately for the case.<\/p>\n

The judge acceded to the request and adjourned until December 8.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
