Orji Uzor Kalu’s Re-arraignment: Court Fixes May 16 by DONSMITH123(m): 11:54am On Apr 11, 2016 |
Ade Adesomoju, Abuja A Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday fixed May 16 for the re-arrangement of a former Governor of Abia State, Mr. Orji Uzor Kalu, his co-accused for charges bordering on alleged diversion of N5.6bn belonging to the state. This followed the judgment of the Supreme Court delivered on March 18, 2016, dismissing the accused persons’ objection to the charges preferred against them and directing them to submit themselves for trial. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had in 2007 initially preferred 96 counts including money laundering, against Kalu, his company, Slok Nigeria Limited, and Jones Udeogo. Kalu and his co-defendants were accused of diverting the state’s fund while he was governor of Abia State between 1999 and 2007. The anti-graft agency on February 11, 2008 amended the charges and presented 112 counts against the defendants. Their objection to the charges were dismissed by the court, the Court of Appeal and finally by the Supreme Court on March 18. Kalu and Udeogo, who were represented by different lawyers, were present in court on Monday. The prosecuting counsel, Mr. Oluwaleke Atolagbe, who passed a copy of the judgment of the Supreme Court validating the trial to the judge, Justice Anwuri Chikere, during the Monday’s proceedings, said the prosecution needed time to take some steps before the re-arraignment Atolagbe said, “This matter is slated for mention. On March 18, 2016, the Supreme Court dismissed the appeals by the defendant. “I will urge my lord to adjourn the case to afford the prosecution some time to take some steps. We will need about two weeks. We seek an adjournment for the defendants to take their plea.” Counsel for Kalu, Chief Awa Kalu (SAN), and the lawyer representing Udeogo and Slok Nigeria Ltd, Chief Solomon Akama (SAN), did not oppose the request for adjournment. The judge then fixed May 16 for their re-arraignment. http://www.punchng.com/court-fixes-may-16-for-orji-kalus-re-arraignment/ 2 Likes

Great. All accused politically exposed persons should embrace the honourable act of defending themselves at the law court instead of raising objections to their prosecution if actually they're not guilty as they always claim. The unfortunate thing is, the common citizens made pauper by these looters are the same people who defend them online and offline. What a shame! 15 Likes |

The only problem i have with APC that this govt makes a lot of noise. They want us to believe they are fighting corruption yet no result to show for it. From Metu to former Nimasa boss, to Dansuki, to Saraki and whole lots of others. It appears like it is a mere media show! I will be very glad if Orji Uzor kALU and his successor T.A Orji can be made to spend the rest of their lives in kirikiri for looting Abia dry but i doubt if APC can achieve it. Let me remind the president that on his inaugural speech, there are two basic things he said that caught my attention. 1. I belong to everyone and I belong to NO one. 2. Our actions will speak for us. Let ur actions speak for u in this fight...... 2 Likes 2 Shares |
