The Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday fixed December 8 for committal proceeding against Rep. Sani Dan-Galadima over his inability to produce Faisal Maina in court to stand his trial.
Faisal is the son of Abdulrasheed Maina a former chairman of the defunct Pension Reformed Task Team who is facing separate charges of money laundering involving about N2 billion before the same court.
Faisal was arraigned on October 25 on a three-count charge bordering on money laundering.
After taking arguments from both counsels on Friday, Justice Okon Abang adjourned the matter at the instance of Dan-Galadima who stood surety for Faisal.
Mohammed Sheriff, counsel to the lawmaker, who represents Kaura-Namoda Federal Constituency of Zamfara, said in obedience to court order of November 25, the surety had filed an affidavit to show cause why he should not forfeit the N60 million bail bond.
The judge had revoked the bail granted Faisal, ordered his arrest and directed that his trial would proceed in absentia, having been said to have jumped bail.
