The self-proclaimed spokesman of Boko Haram who
was sentenced to three years imprisonment has
been rearrested at the residence of Majority Leader
of Senate Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume.
Ali Sanda Umar Konduga was said to have
been arrested on Wednesday, September 14, after
sneaking into Ndume’s home, according to
Vanguard.
Konduga was reportedly released from prison last
week after serving a three year sentence.
The suspect had earlier accused Ndume of being
a Boko Haram sponsor leading to the senator
being charged to court.
According to one of Ndume’s relatives, Konduga
“kept on coming to the Senator’s house purposely
to apologize to the immediate family for indicting
Ndume, who was charged for providing Konduga
with politicians’ phone numbers and not
disclosing information to authorities under
Nigeria’s Terrorism Prevention Act.”
“When the Maigadi (Gate man) accosted Konduga
that the senator was not in the house, requested
to see Justice Aisha Ndume, one of the senator’s
wife, but was asked to come back the following
day,” a source told Vanguard.
“As luck will have it, Konduga revisited the house
on Wednesday at exactly 4pm, where he was
identified by some Ndume’s close associates,
who accompanied the senator to the Federal High
Court, Abuja then.
“Policemen in charge of G.R.A police station were
alerted and swooped into action leading to the
re-arrest of Konduga. He is now in police custody,
while Senator Ndume has been informed,” the
source added.
Konduga is said to have been taken to a
psychiatric Hospital for evaluation after which he
will be handed to the police for further
investigations.
