The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared that a former Abia state governor, Orji Kalu, would face immediate retrial for money laundering

Although the Supreme Court did not acquit him of the charges of money laundering, the court upturned the verdict of the trial court on the grounds that Mohammed Liman, the judge who heard the case, was no longer a judge of the Federal High Court at the time he handled and delivered judgment on the matter.

The anti-graft agency said that it considered The judgment of the apex court as quite unfortunate, adding that the verdict was a technical ambush against the trial of the former governor. The commission noted that it was prepared for a fresh and immediate trial of the case because its evidence against Kalu and others is overwhelming. The EFCC added that the corruption charges against Kalu still subsist since the Supreme Court did not acquit him of them, saying that the entire prosecutorial machinery of the EFCC would be launched in a fresh trial where justice is bound to be served in due course.


"The attention of the Economic And Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has been drawn to the judgment of the Supreme Court nullifying the trial of a former governor of Abia state, Orji Kalu, his firm, Slok Nigeria Limited and Jones Udeogu, a former director of finance and account of Abia state government and ordering their fresh trial at the lower court. Breaking: Orji Kalu finally released from prison

 "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.
