Orji Uzor Kalu Still In Kuje Prison Despite Supreme Court Ruling by Lucia220(op): 9:39am On May 12, 2020
The former governor of Abia state, Orji Uzor Kalu is still in Kuje prison despite the ruling by the Supreme court nullifying his 12-year-conviction.

On Friday, May 8, the Supreme Court nullified the December 2019 judgment which sentenced Orji Kalu and Ude Udeogo, to 12 years and 10 years imprisonment respectively, for diverting N7.6 billion belonging to the state government during their time in office.

Kalu's associates expect him to be out of Kuje prison and reunited with his family, but this is yet to happen as the Apex Court did not issue any order for Kalu’s release because he did not file any application for such.

The Comptroller-General of Nigeria Correctional Service, Jaafar Ahmed, has also refused to release Kalu because there was no order from the Supreme Court for his immediate release.

When Kalu will be approaching the Court of Appeal to file for his release is not yet known.

All these thieves, this is one of the people who has been stealing our oil money.
Instead of using the money to develop their poor and dirty states ,they stole everything,now their people all trying to attach by force and migrate to the South South.
They are begging us to join Biafra so that they will continue to steal our oil money.
God punish all of you.
Stupid beggers.
Thieves.
