The path has been cleared for the Federal Government to call two
additional witnesses against Senator Aliyu Ndume, who is facing charges of
sponsoring the violent Islamic fundamentalist sect, Boko Haram.
The proposed witnesses, according to the Federal Government, are
the MTN and a forensic expert. Three prosecution witnesses had already
testified in the case.
Justice Gabriel Kolawole, after dismissing Ndume’s opposition to
the prosecution’s application on Tuesday, gave the Federal Government seven
days to file its additional proof of evidence and serve same on the defence.
Ndume was arraigned on four counts of
terrorism, after he was implicated by Konduga, who had since been convicted and
sentenced.
The SSS said
Mr. Ndume, who is from Borno State, the hotbed of the crisis, was constantly in
touch with an alleged spokesperson of the group, Mohammed Konduga.
This is
the right way to go about eradicating the menace called Boko Haram, cut off
their sponsors.
