Former Chairman of the defunct Pension Reform Task Team, Mr Abdulrasheed Maina on Thursday collapsed in court.

Thursday’s sitting was scheduled for the hearing of the defendant’s no-case submission, following the close of the prosecution’s case with nine witnesses earlier on Wednesday.

The Federal Government is prosecuting Maina on a 12-count charge of fraud and money laundering before a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja.

Justice Okon Abang had to  suspend proceedings to allow the court’s health officials and officials of the Correctional Service to attend to him.
