The senator representing Borno South, Ali Ndume.
The Senator representing Borno South, Ali Ndume, has denied allegations that he received ransom money or acted as an intermediary between kidnappers and the government, declaring that he has never seen N1bn in cash in his life.
Ndume made the remarks on Friday during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
The senator was responding to allegations by the President of the Borno South Youth Alliance, Samaila Kaigama, linking him to ransom negotiations involving abducted residents of Ngoshe in Borno State.
“I have said it already. In my life, I have never seen N1billion cash, not to talk of N5billion,” he said.
