Faisal Maina, the son of the former and now fugitive chairman of Pension Reformed Task Team, was Wednesday, November 26, accused of making a contradictory statement in his case at the Federal High Court, Abuja.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) made the allegation in a statement released by its spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren.

Maina is standing trial before Justice Okon Abang of the Abuja court on a three-count of money laundering and false declaration of assets.

The anti-graft commission presented a third prosecution witness against the son of the former PenCom boss during a hearing on Wednesday before Justice Abang.

It explained that Main lied concerning the registration of a company he allegedly used in laundering funds to the tune of whopping N58million.

EFFC further said that Maina, while making a statement in the case against him, had disclosed that he had a bank account for his company Faisal Farms which he and his dad Abdulrasheed are its signatories.

Uwujaren said contrary to what he said in the defence statement, the company Faisal Farms does not have a farm, adding that the defendant also failed to declare all his assets both home and abroad.

Faisal Maina has not been in court and does not send any legal representation in the four consecutive adjournments of his trial since November 26, 2019, when he was released on bail.
