According to the EFCC, Maina used his firm to launder about N2billion.
He allegedly used part of the proceeds to acquire properties in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
Maina jumped bail, a situation that prompted Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court to order the remand of his surety, Senator Ali Ndume.
The Borno South lawmaker was freed last Friday.
EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, said he was yet to be briefed on Maina’s arrest.
