Senator Ndume released on bail
The Federal High Court, Abuja, on Friday, released Senator Ali Ndume on bail after spending five days in Kuje Correctional Centre.
Justice Okon Abang, who gave the ruling, said the court decided to exercise its discretionary powers based on Mr. Ndume’s good conduct in the course of the trial of Abdulrasheed Maina, former Chairman, defunct Pension Reformed Task Team (PRTT), for whom he stood surety.
Mr. Ndume (APC-Borno South) was remanded in prison custody after Maina was said to have jumped bail.
