Court officials were left alarmed today after Abdulrasheed Maina collapsed during his trial.
The former Chairman of the defunct Pension Reform Task Team, is standing trial in a12-count charge before a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja.
The former pension boss collapsed at exactly 10:05 am when his counsel, Anayo Adibe was making submissions before Justice Okon Abang handling his trial.
Before the collapse of the former pension boss, his counsel was praying the court for an adjournment to enable him get record of the proceedings of the court to enable him prepare for the no case submission he intends to file on behalf of his client.
The court had to rise abruptly to enable officials of the Correctional Service and relations of the former pension boss to attend to him.
Prison officials and some lawyers immediately rushed towards him to resuscitate him and get him proper medical care. Due to this development, the judge was forced to suspend the proceedings.
Now, a video of the man being attended to after collapsing has emerged.
