Senator Ali Ndume: sent to prison
Taiye Agbaje
Borno Senator, Ali Ndume, was ordered to be remanded in Kuje Prison on Monday following his failure to produce Abdulrasheed Maina, former Chairman, defunct Pension Reformed Task Team (PRTT) who he had stood surety for.
Justice Okon Abang gave the order when Ndume, who represents Borno South Senatorial District, failed to file a formal application to show cause why he should not forfeit the bail bond of N500 million deposed to on May 5 to stand as surety for Maina.
The EFCC’s Lawyer, Mohammed Abubakar, had, on Nov. 18, asked the court to make an order for the lawmaker to forfeit the bail bond since Maina, who he stood as surety for, had jumped bail.
Abubakar also asked the court to revoke Maina’s bail and issued a warrant of arrest on him.
Although the court granted the applications by the EFCC on Maina, it gave Ndume an opportunity to appear with his legal representation and adjourned until Dec. 23.
Justice Abang, in his ruling, ordered Ndume’s remand pending the time he was able to fulfill the bail bond or produce Maina in court.

This is is not meant to be a tribal issue at all but that no single person should be above the law and equitanle justice should be meted to all in any progressive egalitarian society.
For speaking against the rehabilitation of terrorists Ndume goes to jail
Good, but the same treatment should also be meted out to the useless Abaribe who took bail for that demented albino called kanu
Adeola you must be mad. Where is the Yoruba couple that packed billions of dollars belonging to Nigerian government in a private apartment in ikoyi ? If you can produce them today I will personally hand Abaribe to you.
Nothing Personal,I think y’all need to stay on point instead of cussing,abusing each other on this platform.
Senators, Ali Ndume, Abaribe are not above the law,they must face the consequences of their actions.
