The Court of Appeal in Abuja, on Wednesday, dismissed an appeal filed by Slok Nigeria Limited challenging the jurisdiction of the Federal High Court, Lagos, which convicted former Abia State governor, Orji Uzor-Kalu.

Mr Kalu, a serving senator, was jailed alongside Udeh Udeogu, his Director of Finance and Accounts at the Abia State Government House during Mr Kalu’s tenure.

Following the conviction, Slok and Mr Udeogu had approached the appellate court to set aside the judgment of the trial court for lack of jurisdiction. But the three-member panel of the appellate court in a judgment read by Justice Olabisi Ige on Wednesday dismissed the appeal for lacking in merit, Punch Newspaper reported.

But you stole the money na, why is he appealing?

The jail term should have been increased. Twelve years is far too little considering the amount involved... I hope the Supreme Court will do the needful once he appeals the ruling

They need to increase his sentence.

Best time to be in prison
