‘I’ve never seen N1bn cash, let alone N5bn’, says Ndume, denies ransom allegations
Ndume maintained that he neither negotiated with terrorists nor facilitated any ransom payment, explaining that his only involvement was reporting the matter to security agencies after Kaigama informed him about a video allegedly released by Boko Haram/ISWAP demanding a N5 billion ransom.
Senator representing Borno South, Ali Ndume, has dismissed allegations that he received ransom money or served as a go-between in negotiations between kidnappers and the government, insisting he has never handled N1 billion in cash.
He also called on security agencies to thoroughly investigate the allegations, arguing that the matter should be treated as a national security concern rather than a personal dispute.
