The Federal Government yesterday requested the Abuja division of the Court of Appeal to reject an application by Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume over alleged involvement in terrorism. Ndume is seeking an order of the Appeal Court to stay his trial before a Federal High Court, pending the determination of his appeal challenging his trial for alleged sponsorship of terrorism in the country.

The appellate court consequently ordered parties to file written addresses on the issue and fixed October 2 for adoption of briefs.

The substantive appeal by Ndume challenging the ruling of the Federal High Court to the effect that he had a case to answer would be argued after determination of the application for stay.

My husband, Ekanem, returned home from work about three months ago looking sad. I knew something was wrong but when I enquired, he told me it was well. “What is the matter dear? You don’t look happy. Did you have a bad day at work?” I asked. “No, darling, I am just tired. Once I take a bath, I am sure I will be fine,” Ekanem assured.

However, three weeks later, after dinner, he said, “Lillian, I heard you still visit our former area, Mushin, regularly. What do you go there to do?” he asked sternly. “Well, who told you that? I don’t know what you are talking about my love. Maybe the person keeps seeing someone who looks like me,” I retorted. He assured me that the person was sure I was the one. When it was about to cause a serious argument, we dropped the subject and talked about something else.

Edoga was killed on December 26 this year by gunmen in the house of his kinsman where he stopped over while returning to his village home in Aku on the fateful day.
