Appeal Court Rejects The FG's Bid To Retry Orji Kalu In The Alleged $7.6 Billion Fraud
Court of Appeal stops EFCC from retrying former governor of Abia state Orji Kalu over N7.1billion fraud.
The Federal Government's attempt to reopen Orji Uzor Kalu, the former governor of Abia State,'s case regarding #7.68 fraud and money laundering has been rejected by the Court of Appeal in Abuja.
In his ruling, Justice Joseph Oyewole declared that any court would be unwise to grant the government's request based solely on the incompetent and untrustworthy record of the appeal filed by the federal government.
According to Justice Oyewole, no one well-known to the law assembled, signed, or certified the appeal record.
He continued by saying that the record did not include the name of the individual who had assembled, signed, and certified it as required by law.
The former governor of Abia State, who is currently a senator representing Abia North, was sentenced to 12 years in prison by a Federal High Court on December 5, 2019, for embezzling large sums of money from the state's Treasury.
