Court Frees Suspended APC Senator Charged For Terrorism by Upritman(m): 5:45pm On Jul 04, 2017
Terrorism charges instituted against a former Leader of the Senate and senator currently representing Borno South Senatorial District, Senator Ali Ndume in 2011 has been struck out by a Federal High Court in Abuja.
Justice Gabriel Kolawole , in his judgment on Tuesday, upheld Ndume’ s no - case - submission on the grounds that the prosecution was unable to establish any prima facie case against the defendant.
According to Justice Kolawole, the prosecution failed to lead any evidence to prove any of the ingredients of the four counts anchored on the provisions of the Terrorism ( Prevention) Act 2011.
The Federal Government had alleged a link between Ndume and a suspected member of Boko Haram , Ali Konduga, who had since been convicted and sentenced for terrorism charges.
Ndume was accused of , among other offences , sponsoring the Boko Haram sect , and providing logistics support to the violent sect .
Senator Ali Ndume is currently serving suspension for six months by the Senate over his allegations against Senate President Dr Bukola Saraki and Senator Dino Melaye.
