A Federal High Court in Abuja has granted bail to the senator Ali Ndume representing Borno South
The bail was granted to the senator pending the hearing and determination of his appeal filed at the Court of Appeal challenging his remand.
Senator Ndume has been in detention since Monday over his suretyship for former Pension Reforms Task Team Chairman, Abdulrasheed Maina, who had jumped bail.
Granting the bail on Friday, Justice Okon Abang said the decision was based on the record of good behaviour of the senator.
He ordered the senator to produce one surety who must be a resident of Abuja and present evidence of ownership of property anywhere in Abuja.
According to the judge, the surety must also depose to an Affidavit of Means to indicate his readiness to forfeit the bail guaranty should the senator also jump bail.
Ndume was remanded at the Kuje Correctional Centre for failing to produce Maina, standing trial on alleged money laundering charges.
