The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has produced a former Chairman of the defunct Pension Reform Taskforce Team, ABULRASHEED MAINA, for proceedings of his trial at the Abuja Federal High Court.

MAINA, who is being prosecuted by the EFCC on N2bn money laundering charges, had jumped bail and fled to Republic of Niger.

He was extradited to Nigeria yesterday about two weeks after the court revoked his bail, ordered his arrest and directed that his trial would precede in his absence pending when security agencies would be able to apprehend him.

Our correspondent reports that MAINA was produced in court at about 8.27 am ahead of the proceedings scheduled to commence by 9 am.

MAINA last attended court in July and has subsequently missed up to six court sessions since September 29.
