Abdulrasheed Maina
The Federal High Court sitting Abuja Friday ordered the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, and Haliru Nababa, Controller General, Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS), to file their defence to a suit filed by Abdulrasheed Maina.
The trial judge, Justice Inyang Ekwo gave the order after counsel for the minister and C-G, Abdulmumin Muhammad, said that though he had been served with Maina’s motions, he was yet to file any process.
Maina, a former Chairman of the defunct Pension Reform Task Team (PRTT), had, on October 17, filed a motion ex-parte marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1729/2022.
Maina (the applicant) listed the minister and the C-G of NCoS as 1st and 2nd respondents respectively, in a motion dated and filed on September 27.
Maina, who is currently serving an eight-year jail term at Kuje Prison for pension fraud to the tune of N2 billion, had told the court that he is suffering from a life-threatening disease in the prison and he needs urgent medical attention. (New Telegraph)
