BREAKING: Supreme Court Nullifies Kalu’s Conviction

BEVERLY HILLS, May 08, (THEWILL) – The Supreme Court has quashed the judgement that convicted and sentenced the former governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor-Kalu, to 12 years imprisonment.

The apex court, in a unanimous decision by a seven-man panel of Justices led by Justice Amina Augie, held that the Federal High Court in Lagos acted without jurisdiction when it convicted Kalu, his firm, Slok Nigeria Limited and former Director of Finance in Abia State, Jones Udeogu.

It held that trial Justice Mohammed Liman was no longer a judge of the Federal High Court as at the time he sat and delivered the judgement that convicted the defendants for allegedly stealing about N7.1billion from Abia state treasury.

Nice

What is nice about the write-up?

IPOB miscreants, what will you call this? Your thieving brother has been temporarily set free while Jonah Jang and Joshua Dariye are serving about 12 years in jail. What say thou? Why will "Buhari" set free a Flattino while his Northern brothers are languishing in jail for similar crime?

His sins are forgiven

Nigeria !!
Kai , 12 yrs don turn to 3 months

Just like that?

What a justice system we have in Nigeria....so this new findings did not happen before the whole conviction....our justice system is a joke...swears

Nothing is impossible in Nigeria. Technicality at play here.

we keep blaming politicians for the woes we face in this country, look deep into our problems and u would see how de judiciary had made mess to our dear country... today I officially confirm that Nigeria is a ZOO

Join APC, your sin will be forgiven......

In a sane Country, not a Corntree we are in
This Kalu and all past governors would be rotting in jail
But its the norms here
Watch those lives he has wretched come here and sing praises and celebrate his freedom

He will breath small fresh air then Buhari will throw him back where he belong
