The Federal High Court, Abuja, chaired by Justice Okon Abangon,  has adjourned for hearing the bail application filed by the former Chairman of defunct Pension Reform Task Team(PRTT), Abdulrasheed Maina, until November 6.

Abang gave the ruling on wednesday after taking the arguments of the defence and prosecution counsel.

However, Maina pleaded not guilty to all the charges levelled against him by theEconomic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC).

The judge had, on October 25, fixed Wednesday for trial, after listening to the submissions of prosecution and defence counsel and ordered the EFCC to remand Maina in the Nigerian Correctional Service centre.
