But the protesters under the aegis of Borno South Development Association, who stormed the Unity Fountain in Abuja, asked Senate President Godswill Akpabio to reinstate Ndume.

Addressing newsmen, leader of the protesters, Mohammed Ibrahim Biu, described Ndume is a vibrant Senator who has served his people effectively over the years and cannot be sanctioned for telling the truth.
