Justice Okon Abang who gave the ruling also ordered that Maina must produce two sureties who must be serving senators.
The two lawmakers, according to the judge, must not be standing any criminal trial in any court in the country.
He also ruled that the two sureties, who must be prepared for a N500m bond each, must always be in court with the defendant at each adjourned date.

Maina, who came into Court 6 at the second floor of the building, supported himself with a walking stick.

He ruled that the trial would be on a day-to-day basis in subsequent proceedings.
