Court gives lawmaker 9 days to fetch Maina’s son or go to jail

 

A Federal High Court in Abuja has given a federal lawmaker, Umar Sani Dan Galadima up till December 4 this year to produce Faisal, the son of Abdulrasheed Maina, who is believed to have jumped bail.

Faisal is being prosecuted before the court on money laundering related offences.

He was granted bail in December 2019, with Dan Galadima, a member of the House of Representatives representing Kaura Namoda Federal Constituency of Zamfara State, standing surety for him upon signing a N60 million bond.
