In a unanimous decision by a three-member panel, the court said it found no reason to set aside the judgement of the Federal High Court in Abuja which found him guilty.
It told the court that the 1st defendant used fictitious names to open and operate various bank accounts, as well as recruited his relatives who were bankers to operate fake bank accounts through which illicit funds were channelled.
The court found Maina and his firm, Common Input Property and Investment Limited, guilty of the crime.
