The Federal High Court in Abuja presided over by Justice Okon Abang, yesterday remanded the former Chairman of the defunct Pension Reform Task Team, (PRTT), AbdulRasheed Maina, in Kuje Correctional Facility.
The court had on November 18, ordered security agencies in the country to arrest Maina wherever he might be found.
Also, Justice Abang ordered that Mainas trial will be resumed in his absence.
The fugitive was arrested in Niger by the Nigerian Police following his escape from the country in a bid to evade trial.
He was bundled back to Nigeria on Thursday, and subsequently brought to court yesterday.
Meanwhile, Senator representing Borno South and Chairman of the Senate Committee on Army, Senator Ali Ndume, has commended the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu and other security personnel that were involved in the arrest and extradition of Maina.
Ndume, who stood as surety for Maina told journalists in Abuja that the breakthrough in getting Maina arrested in Niger Republic and extradited home has established the fact that the Nigeria Police Force was not a write-off.
