Maina’s Son, Faisal, Sentenced To 14 Years In Prison

Faisal, the son of Abdulrasheed Maina, a former Chairman of the disbanded Pension Reform Task Team (PRTT), was convicted by Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court in Abuja on all three counts charge against him by the Federal Government.

The ruling was issued by the court on Thursday as it was hearing the case of Faisal, who had jumped bail and fled the country.

Faisal was sentenced to 5 years in prison in count one and 14 years in count two, both of which began today.

Faisal was ordered by the court to return to the FG, where he was accused of laundering N58.1 million and the company was shut down.

The defendant was sentenced to five years in prison on count three.

The terms will run concurrently, according to the court.

Furthermore, Justice Abang directed the Federal Government to apprehend Faisal so that he can complete his sentence, and that if he is arrested outside of Nigeria, the Federal Government should legitimately repatriate him to face his sentence.
