Former Chairman of the Pension reformed task force team, Abdulrasheed Maina collapsed in the dock during the resumed hearing of his N2bn money laundering trial at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
Maina’s trail sitting was scheduled for the hearing on Thursday, December 10.
The court was to hear of the defendant’s no-case submission, following the close of the prosecution’s case with nine witnesses earlier on Wednesday.
The defence lawyer, Anayo Adibe, was briefing the judge, Justice Okon Abang, that his team was yet to receive the records of proceedings requested from the court’s registry when a loud thud of Maina’s fall drew attention to the dock.
Immediately after the fall, Prison officials rushed to him to attend to him.
Justice Abang then said the court would rise for about five minutes.
