The Federal High Court in Abuja has commenced the trial of Abdulrasheed Maina, former chairman of the Pension Reformed Task Team, for alleged money laundering, in absentia.

He was also not represented by a counsel.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is prosecuting Maina for alleged laundering of N2 billion.

The court on Monday sent Ali Ndume (Borno South), chairman, Senate Committee on Army, to Kuje Correctional Centre.

He is to remain there until he produces in court Abdulrasheed Maina, whom he stood surety for on July 24.

Maina has since September failed to appear in court for trial, forcing the court to revoke his bail and ordered his arrest.
