There was a mild drama in court on Thursday, December 12, as the trial of the former Chairman of the Pension Reform Task Team, Abdulrasheed Maina continued.
Maina, who was recently extradited to Nigeria to face trial in a money-laundering suit slumped as he was being brought into court for the commencement of trial.
He reportedly collapsed during the resumed hearing in his N2bn money laundering trial at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
