Fatima Abdullahi, sister of the ex-chairman of defunct Pension Reform Task Team, Abdulrasheed Maina, has denied knowledge of companies and bank accounts opened in her name by her brother.
Fatima told Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday that she became aware of the companies when she was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Kaduna.

Maina was on November 25 granted N1 billion bail with two sureties in like sum.
Justice Abang ruled that both sureties must be serving Nigerian Senators with no criminal cases before the court.
The judge added inter alia that both sureties must have fully developed landed property in Maitama or Asokoro district of Abuja.

Maina is charged with 12 counts bordering on money laundering, operating fictitious bank accounts and fraud levelled against him by the EFCC.
