Senator Ali Ndume, who is standing as bail surety for a former Chairman of the defunct Pension Reform Task Team, Abdulrasheed Maina, said on Friday that he could no longer find the defendant whom he had made a legal commitment to always produce in court for his trial.
The trial judge, Justice Okon Abang, had ordered Maina to provide a serving senator as a surety for the bail granted him. Ndume, who represents Borno South Senatorial District where Maina hails from, later agreed to serve as the defendant’s surety. Asked by the judge if he knew the defendant’s whereabouts, the senator said, “My lord, I must confess, I do not know.”
But EFCC’s prosecuting counsel, Farouk Abdullah, opposed the request for an adjournment, informing the court that the anti-corruption agency’s investigation revealed that Maina was not a patient at Maitama General Hospital.
Maina's case...156 houses & money Seized from him is no where to be found Naija Sha.
Also the 2.7 bullion meal subsidy scam is about to be swept under the carpet. A country with no leader. A Government that represents GOD course on Nigeria
If the defendant failed to appear in court on the adjourned 5th October, the surety must be made to forfeit the pledged bail bond and would reason to cool his feet in the prison, anything short of that would confirm the adadge that we are living in a banana republic
Just pay the N2bn. Case closed!
This government have made Maina to be above the law.
Imagine
His in his house, his not hiding from anybody. His even using the people that supposed to apprehend him, as his body guards.
I knew it, the guy Maina is a King Kong Criminal, am not surprised he vamoosed

The fight against corruption in this country is a huge joke and what makes it really sad is the fact that the institutions saddled with the responsibility to help with this colossal battle are the ones encouraging it ...
Mago mago

Why are this people cntnu making Nigerians look like clown 🤡, thesame was done by a senator from east. Abiribi
but you’ll find me if i stole 5k ?
Failure of a surety to produce an accused person in court is an act of deceit on the Court and therefore a crime as held by the Court of Appeal in OLAYIWOLA vs. FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA (2018)LPELR-46772(CA). Ndume should be prosecuted for deceit & aiding evasion of justice.
That was the plan.
