Court Orders Ndume To Be Remanded In Prison for Failing To Produce Maina

Oluwaseye Ogunsanya November 24, 2020 27


Background

Due to his failure to produce the former Chairman of the defunct Pension Task Team, Abdulrasheed Maina, a Federal High Court has ordered Senator Ali Ndume to be remanded at the Kuje Correctional Centre.

Ndume, who represents Borno South in the senate stood as surety for Maina’s bail, who is standing trial on alleged money laundering charges.

However, Maina has frequently failed to appear in court for the continuation of his trial.

In a bench ruling delivered by Justice Okon Abang, the court ordered Ndume’s remand pending the fulfillment of his bail bond, which is a forfeiture of N500 million to the federal government.

Also, in order to recover the N500 million bond, the court empowered the federal government to sell Senator Ndume’s property at Asokoro.

Justice Abang added that Ndume will be released from Kuje once he is able to pay the N500 million or if the prosector is able to dispose of the property and payment made to the federal government.

Ndume’s lawyer, Marcel Oru, vowed to appeal the court’s ruling.

Maina’s trial-in-absentia was adjourned to November 24.
