A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, Monday, found Abdulrasheed Maina, Chairman of the defunct Pension Reform Task Team (PRTT), guilty of money laundering charges.
Justice Okon Abang, the trial Judge, held that Maina cornered over N2 billion from Pensioners, “most of whom have died without reaping the fruits of their labour.”
“I find the defendant (Mr Maina) guilty and convicted in count 2, 6, 9, 3, 7 and 10,” Justice Abang said.
Last month the Court jailed Maina’s son, Faisal after he was found guilty on all three count charges of money laundering involving N58.1million in public funds.
He is in the US and was, therefore, convicted in absentia.
Maina was arraigned before Mr Abang, on October 25, 2019, with his firm, Common Input Property and Investment Ltd.
He was alleged to have used his firm to launder N2 billion and also buy properties in Abuja.
He had jumped bail twice in the course of the trial.
