A Federal High Court, in Abuja, has on Monday, ordered for the remand of Senator Ali Ndume, over his inability to produce a former Chairman of the defunct Pension Reformed Task Team, Abdulrasheed Maina, who has jumped bail severally, in respect of his ongoing N2 billion n money laundering criminal trial,
Justice Okon Abang ordered that the Borno South Senator who stood as a Surety for the fleeing Defendant in May 2020, would only be released from prison, when he either produces Maina in court, or sells off the N500 million worth of property, located in Asokoro, Abuja, which was used as the guarantee for the bail bond, and tenders the evidence of the payment of the proceeds of the sale into the Federation Account.
The Judge therefore, ordered that he be remanded in Kuje Prison, pending when he meets the conditions for his release.
