He was freed on a technicality.
He was not freed on the basis of his innocence.

If you understand this judgements correctly, it means that the case will have to restart again. Because the first judge lacks the power to sit on the case. Circular motion indeed.


Exactly.

Nigerians don't just read.

I saw it coming. One prophet even prophesied that Orji Kalu will emerge the next President in 2023 and some people laughed at the Prophet saying a prisoner cannot be president.

2073 not 2023.

No Igbo man can smell the seat for now.

But I agree, he's the leader of Biafuro.

Supreme Court order for retrial.

He has not been acquitted. He is to start his trial afresh.

He still have cases to answer. The emphasis is necessary.

The headline was misleading.
And the comments are funny.
Thank God you read the article

Orji uzor kalu freed based on technicalities. I hope that people read the grounds for which he was freed.

The judge who sentenced kalu was already a judge at the Appeal court.

The case was supposed to be reassigned to another judge at the federal high court in Lagos but the judge handling the matter who was already elevated to the Appeal court still went ahead to give judgement.

Now based on this technicalities, the supreme court has nullified the conviction of kalu.

This is a welcome development. The judiciary is the last hope of the ordinary man.

God bless Buhari for upholding the Rule of law.

Nigeria shall be great again.
Bravo grin A true democrat he is .

Indeed Buhari is the most democratic president in the whole wide world

Isn't Abaribe himself a thief? Was he not deputy Governor under Kalu and went to Senate from there after he failed to topple his Oga using otuonu tribalism. He is a living crook deceiving his fellow fools.

Even the supreme court judges have a price. They can't rejects 1% of the loot. Another plea bargain stuff for backyard. Abia people are the losers on this one.

and u think ipob are not supporting him?have u heard Nnamdi criticise him in any of their broadcast? Wake up ipob don't care about orji, we the abians that saw what orji did to our commonwealth are praying that he remain in jail, is unfortunate this is the country I found myself, save this message they are preparing him for leadership of this country, someone told me they will release him last last week i was busy arguing with him ,so don't mock the ipob people so that u won't wail about his release tomorrow.

Mysticwebb:
Supreme court judges are no longer reliable. Nobody argued whether he stole the money or not, they just got paid to focus on technicalities bordering on jurisdiction to set him free.
Fighting corruption indeed.
But that's unfortunately how the justice system works; 'Rule of Law' doesn't always entail 'Justice'. Lawyers focus on anything and any loophole that can set their clients free.

What do you mean by "Supreme court judges getting PAID to focus on technicalities"? Are the supreme court judges now Kalu's lawyers?

So you are supporting a crook and a criminal?

Instead of you to cry about the pathetic state of your country judicial system that has stolen away your future.

I pity you.
Who are the number one people always supporting crooks and criminals?
The only reason Igbos hate him is his perceived friendship with the North.
Moreover,the Supreme Court has spoken sad
That's an unanimous judgement you see there.
