By The Federal High Court, Abuja has ordered the remand of Abdulrasheed Maina, a former chairman of the defunct Pension Reform Task Force Team, at Kuje correctional facility.
Justice Okon Abang ordered that the ex-pension boss be kept in custody, pending the conclusion of his trial.
Maina, who is currently facing a 12-count case for alleged money laundering, had been declared wanted by the court following his absence at trial.
He was extradited to Nigeria, on Thursday, from Niamey, Niger Republic. Maina was reportedly arrested by a joint team of operatives of the Nigerian Police Force, International Criminal Police Organisation National Central Bureau Abuja and their Nigerien counterparts, on Monday.
