THE Department of State Security Service (SSS) on Wednesday claimed that the embattled senator representing Borno South senatorial district, Mohammed Aliyu Ndume, confessed to having links with the dreaded fundamentalist sect, Boko Haram.

An officer of the service, James Ene Izi, who appeared as prosecution witness two in the ongoing trial of the senator, also revealed that the accused further confessed in a voluntary statement made to the service of having telephone interactions with the jailed former spokesperson of the sect, Ali Konduga.

The officer added that when the senator and Konduga were made to face each other, Ndume claimed to be seeing him for the first time in his life, though they had been communicating by phone.

Led in evidence-in-chief by prosecution counsel,  Thompson Olatigbe, the witness further said "in the process of investigating Konduga, he mentioned the name of the the accused, one Saidu Pindar who is now deceased and some of the politicians that have influenced the Boko Haram activities in Maiduguri.

"Upon this, we invited the accused formally for interrogation and made voluntary confessional statement, where he admitted that he has been having link with the sect."

Izi also said the confession was further confirmed, as the phone number of Konduga was found on Ndume's mobile phone.

After taking the evidence, the trial judge, Justice Gabriel Kolawole, later adjourned till December 1.
