The judge, who accused the Nigerian Correctional Services of compounding the issue before the court for failure to produce a medical report on the health status of Maina days after the order to the effect was made by the court, ruled that Maina’s trial would be on a day-to-day basis in subsequent proceedings.
NAN reports that the trial of Maina was stalled in the last adjourned date due to his worsening health condition.
The EFCC had on October 25, arraigned Maina alongside his firm, Common Input Property and Investment Ltd, before Justice Abang.
Though he pleaded not guilty to the 12-count charge, his trial has yet to make meaningful progress due to his failing health.
