A Federal High Court in Abuja has turned down a
request by Senator Ali Ndume for a further stay of proceedings in a
case linking him to the sponsorship of fundamentalist group, Boko Haram
activities.
Senator Ndume wanted the court to stop his trial pending the determination of a case he filed at the court of appeal challenging the admissibility of evidences tendered against him by the SSS.
The lawmaker is not happy with this court for admitting electronic evidence tendered against him by the State Security Service.
Caught in the web of allegations of sponsoring the Boko Haram sect, Senator Ndume now wants the court to stop his trial for the time being.
This he said is to allow him pursue his case at the court of appeal challenging the admissibility of the evidence.
Instead the court gave a long adjournment pending the determination of the appeal.
The State security service had tendered a transcript of series of alleged telephone conversation between the lawmaker and a convicted Boko Haram spokesman Ali Konduga against him.
The case has now been adjourned to 6 May, for both parties to brief the court on the outcome of the court of appeal decision.
