Ganiyat Ganiyu
Senator Ali Ndume, representing Borno South at the National Assembly, will on Friday know his fate on the bail application filed on his behalf by his lawyer.
The Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday fixed Friday for his ruling.
Ndume was on Monday detained in prison over his failure to produce a former Chairman of the defunct Pension Reformed Task Team, Abdulrasheed Maina, whom he stood for as a surety.
The judge remanded Ndume in prison until he produced Maina or paid the sum of N500m bail bond to the Federation Account.

Maina, a former Chairman of the defunct Pension Reformed Task Team, Abdulrasheed Maina, is being prosecuted by the EFCC on charges of money laundering involving N2bn.
