The same court had on Monday granted Maina bail of N1 billion with two sureties in like sum.

Faisal was docked on a three-count charge bordering on money laundering which he pleaded not guilty to.

Justice Abang on October 25 ordered that Faisal’s father be remanded in Kuje Correctional Service centre, while Faisal be kept in police custody at Police Tactical Squad, Asokoro, based on the investigation on allegation of possession of firearms and resistance to arrest.
