The Federal High Court, Abuja , on Thursday, refused to grant a former Chairman of the defunct Pension Reformed Taskforce Team, Abdulrasheed Maina, bail.

Delivering a ruling , Justice Okon Abang, held that Maina’ s application for bail lacked merit .

Justice Abang said though it was at the court’ s discretion to grant bail, the ex -pension reformed boss did not deserve bail after jumping the first bail.
The judge said that Maina did not place sufficient materials before the court to convince the court that he deserves the second bail.

He said the medical report brought from the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital showed that Maina was not under any medical emergency .

The judge said Maina was not only a flight risk but a proving risk, having fled to the Republic of Niger and Chad in violation of the court order.

“ He has disappointed the court, ” he ruled.

Justice Abang, who refused to grant Maina’ s application for an order directing the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to release his confiscated property , including a BMW Car, also dismissed his request for an order to set aside the Nov. 18 and Dec . 4 , 2020 orders.

The court on November 18 , 2020 , ordered the trial of Maina in absentia after he jumped bail.
Also on December 4 , 2020 , the court ordered Maina to be remanded in prison custody pending the hearing and final determination of his matter.

But Maina, who jumped bail last year and fled to the Republic of Niger before his rearrest , had on December 24 , 2020 , applied for another bail.

Maina, through his lawyer, Anayo Adibe, on Jan. 20 , approached Justice Abang in a motion on notice.
He argued that the application became necessary over his worsening health condition .
In the motion , the ex - pension boss told the court that he had reasonable and responsible sureties who were willing to act as sureties if granted bail.

Debunking the argument that he had jumped bail, Maina said he fled to the Republic of Niger to have a kneel surgery .

According to him, If the knee surgery had not been done , his leg would have been amputated

If the war against corruption is real, will say good Let him rot in jail. The war against corruption is not real. Every region is protecting their corrupt politicians. Let him go

Good News

Damnnn niggarrrr
This is to say maina don't know what he has put his hand into

Who would have thought that the court was not convinced of his story that he might lose a leg because of his health

After jumping the first bail, Maina and his lawyer should ordinarily be morally ashamed to ask for a bail the second term.

In the coming days, I won't be surprised if his team put up a more convincing case for bail and the judge soft pedals under immense pressure.

At least this judge get it right this time.
How i wish they won't delay judgement to serve as deterrent to others.
His son is still at large and the father want to run away too.

Good he should go to jail

Abdulrasheed the Bail Jumper

Kudos to him.

Conceal Your Mistakes-Have a Scapegoat Around To Take The Blame

Our good name and reputation depend more on what we conceal than on what we reveal. Everyone makes mistakes, but those who are truly clever manage to hide them, and to make sure someone else is blamed. A convenient scapegoat should always be kept around for such moments.

ok
sleep tight

We are the problem of this country, until we are ready this country cant move forward

Let's talk about bakery

We will continue to go around in circle. The court in this present form and shape in Nigeria has become a liability. In a sense that it has lost it redemptive judicial capacity. Its lost the ability to handover a death sentence to currupt politicians.

This maina no get sense at all

Justice abang is not that daft... What's wrong with your leg being amputated... Shey your son wey japa get leg issues too arbi... All d pensioners that did not collect their pension before they died u think they will allow your useless leg to rest... We need Chinese laws in dis country

He is a jumper..... Best to keep him caged.........
