Boko Haram: Ndume, Konduga had Contact with Sect

The State Security Service (SSS) told the Federal High Court on Wednesday in Abuja that Sen. Ali Ndume's call log, showed that he communicated with Mohammed Konduga (a convict) 73 times, in a month. Ndume (PDP-Borno), is standing trial for alleged link with the dreaded Boko Haram sect. Senator Ndume had insisted that his link with the group was necessitated by his membership of the presidential committee to restore peace in the troubled north east of the country. At the resumed hearing of the case, Mr. Aliyu Usman, a forensic expert with the SSS, while giving evidence said the history of the communication contacts was contained in the two mobile telephones obtained from Ndume and Konduga.
