Controversy in court as Judge tells Maina not to look at him

By Jennifer Y Omiloli

There was a minor drama at the Federal High Court, Abuja, as presiding judge, Justice Abang Okon asked the controversial former chairman of the Pension Reform Task Team, Abdulrasheed Maina, to stop looking at him.

Okon said this when he was about to rule on Maina’s attorney Ahmed Raji’s bail request.

Okon said, “Please I don’t want the 1st defendant to look at me when I am delivering my ruling so that I can concentrate.”

In an effort to reinforce the judge’s order, the court registrar further exacerbated the situation when he told Maina to look at the complaint, which dragged him to trial.

The judge later continued his judgment when he ordered the defendant to be remanded in prison custody.
