[Photo credit: juliana taiwo - WordPress.com]Former Chairman of the Pension Reform Task Team , Abdulrasheed Maina, has been released from Kuje Correctional Centre nine months after his detention, the News Agency of Nigeria has confirmed.
On why Mr Maina had been kept in detention after Mr Abang further varied his bail conditions on June 29, the lawyer said: “It was also administrative. There were lapses here and there; transmission of processes from one department of government to another.” “We will have a better perspective of what the case is all about. And this will also allow him to treat himself knowing he has been very ill in order to stand the trial,” he said.
The ex-Pension Reform boss, through his lawyer, Joe Gadzama, SAN, had, on June 23, informed the court that Ali Ndume, the senator representing Borno South, had decided to stand as surety for him. Mr Abang had, on January 28, varied Mr Maina’s bail conditions, following his inability to meet the bail terms granted him on November 26, 2019.
