A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered Senator Ali Ndume to be remanded at Kuje Correctional Centre for failing to produce the former Chairman of the defunct Pension Task Team, Abdulrasheed Maina.
Recall that Ndume is standing as surety for Maina over alleged N2billion money laundering.
After getting bail, Maina failed to appear in court for the continuation of his trial.
Giving the order on Monday, Justice Okon Abang held that having failed to produce Mr Maina, the senator should show cause why he should not forfeit his bail bond.
He, therefore, ordered that Ndume should only be released if he meets either of three conditions.
First is that he pays N500m bail bond into the Federation Account of the Federal Government and present evident of such payment in court or the FG sells the property situated in Asokoro, Abuja which Ndume pledge as security for the bond and present evidence of sale and payment of the N500m realised into the Federation Account or he (Ndume) produces Maina, who is believed to have now jumped bail, in court.
