He also ordered that Mr 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.
Justice Abang held 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.
The defendant had described the conditions as stringent hence the application for variation.
The adjournment was in the instance of the court to enable it attend to official administrative duties.
