We have obtained exclusive photos of the Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu’s arrival and departure from the Federal High Court Abuja for hearing of the allegations leveled against him by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission.
See photos below:
Recall that Senator Kalu who was sentenced to 12 years imprisonment in December 2019 on corruption charges was released from Kuje Correctional Centre, Abuja in June 2020 after the Federal High Court in Lagos presided by Justice Muhammed Liman ordered his release, in line with the Supreme Court judgment nullifying his trial and conviction.
The Supreme Court had, in May, ruled that the trial and judgment delivered by Justice Mohammed Idris against Kalu and two others were null and void since the trial judge had no juridiction, having been elevated to the Court of Appeal.
