Orji Uzor Kalu: EFCC Set For Another Trial
  • May 8, 2020
  • Unity Times

The Economic and Financial Crime Commission has said that a former governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu , his firm, Slok Nigeria Limited and Jones Udeogu, a former Director of Finance and Account of Abia State Government will be arraigned for another trial. 

In a press release, the EFCC Head of Media, Mr Dele Oyewale, said the apex court based its verdict on the grounds that Justice Mohammed Idris, who convicted Kalu and others had been elevated to the Court of Appeal before the judgment and returned to the lower court to deliver the judgment which it considered as illegal.

The release stated that “EFCC considers the judgment of the apex court as quite unfortunate . It is a technical ambush against the trial of the former governor. The Commission is prepared for a fresh and immediate trial of the case because its evidences against Kalu and others are overwhelming”.

Dele noted that corruption charges against Kalu still subsist because the Supreme Court did not acquit him of them. The entire prosecutorial machinery of the EFCC would be launched in a fresh trial where justice is bound to be served in due course.
