A Federal High Court, Abuja, on Friday, fixed for judgment in the trial of Faisal, son of the embattled chairman of the defunct Pension Reformed Task Team (PRTT), Abdulrasheed Maina.
Justice Okon Abang fixed the date after counsel to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mohammed Abubakar, adopted his final written address.
Faisal, who was arraigned by the EFCC on October 25, 2019, jumped bail around September 2020 and stopped attending his trial.
Justice Abang, who issued a warrant for his arrest, ordered on November 24, 2020 for the trial to continue in his absence after the EFCC made the application to the effect.
Faisal, who is being prosecuted alongside his father, Maina, is standing a separate trial on a three-count charge bordering on money laundering.
