Section396(7) of the Administration of Criminal K=Justice Act (ACJA) provides as follows:
'...notwithstanding the provision of any other law to the contrary, a Judge of the High Court who has been elevated to the Court of Appeal shall have dispensation to continue to sit as a High Court Judge only for the purpose of concluding any part-heard criminal matter pending before him at the time of his elevation and shall conclude the same within a reasonable time : Provided that this subsection shall not prevent him from assuming duty as a Justice of the Court of Appeal.”

The purpose of this provision is to cure the requirement of a matter to be tried afresh when a judge is elevated in order to save time. This is the current law today so why is the Supreme court relying on old, time-wasting provisions? The conviction is not quashed on the merits but on this issue already clearly addressed by statute?
hush15:


That will never happen! That move by either justice idris or fg who is the prosecuting counsel was either intentional or mere stupidity out of conflict of interest on the part of the judge. How can you judge a case as both a federal high court judge initially and then as an appeal judge later in during the same proceedings and hearings? When I first read the post on a different thread about the judgement, the first thing that ran through my mind is how come this guy appealed at supreme court straight? Where is the appeal court into his case? Only to realised a stupid judge and a prosecutor tried playing two judges, one man.

But looking at it a holistically, it was either a deliberate technical move to open way for Kalu or the Judge was just being stupid. Also the prosecuting counsel were just foolish and incompetent or compromised. Its just common sense cos even me that didn't study law understands this. At the end of it all, the case will just be reassigned to one that will acquit him or fg will no longer push the case for prosecution till the time of blackmail suffice again under this present regime.

I am usually surprised on the level of boldness and confidence exhibited by criminals who loot public funds without apology in Nigeria.

It’s simply because they believe we Nigerians are dunce. They can do anything and get away with it. What are we gonna do? Nothing. Naso them believe. All of em!!

No.The Supreme court ordered a retrial based on technicality. So he is a free man.You know how long this trial will take.

Abia people and their state are the losers.This man single handedly looted Abia state and set the tone that brought other incompetent failures and looters like TA Orji and now Okezie.

These people are responsible for making Abia state the shithole of Nigeria and worst state in Nigeria. See the face of Aba, which is the main town of Abia state.

With this court ruling Abia state leaders are empowered to continue wreck Abia

Hate no dey tire you ??

Ok shame on u, u weren't aquited of your crimes against your own state, they ordered re trial on the basis that the judge who put u behind bars are not qualified to be on the seat, so you might still end up in jail, but even if u escape man justice there is one judge up there whom no one can bribe on your behalf, he will treat u as you treated public funds
This man is shameless, he was not aquitted based on the merits of the case but rather on technicalities, and we all know he is going to delibrately frustrate the justice system to avert a retrial.

From what I read up there, the supreme Court has not acquitted him, but only ordered that the case be reassigned for trial

The case is as good as dead. He is a free man.
A case that has been on since 2007. Now asking EFCC to start afresh in 2020. Some prosecutors have retired, witnesses dead sef.
It'll take another 10 years to get a judgement. It is over.

OUK, if the sons of the presidency set you free, you are free indeed, after all if goats that ate big tubbers of illegal yams were not disturbed, why must the cock that pecked some little illegal corns be disturbed ?

Nawaooooooo, this man deserves more than 12 years but when you consider politicians that have done worse but got away with it, justice seems useless

Meanwhile the Presidency have been trying to stop Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from speaking the truth, they have even reached out for a compromise but MNK insists on referendum .

They should know that releasing the corrupt Orji Kalu won't stop MNK from crushing the zoo(toilet trash can) called Nigeria.
Can you defend this in a court of law?

U dont even need to go to jail. All u need is be politically correct and being in the the good books of the ruleing party.
Re: Supreme Court Victory: Orji Uzor Kalu Reacts by junketer(m): 2:20pm On May 08, 2020
This was well planned. They arranged everything from the beginning that kalu would not spend more than a year in jail and the guilty verdict would be wiped. Anyone that thinks that these people did not know that the high court judge was also a member of the court of appeal is a dunce.
Buhari has killed everything good about democracy in nigeria.
