BREAKING: Supreme Court Nullifies Orji Uzor Kalu's Conviction, Orders Fresh Trial | Sahara Reporters

Nigeria's Supreme Court on Friday threw out the judgment against former governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor-Kalu, which led him to 12 years imprisonment.

The court held that trial judge, Justice Mohammed Liman, was no longer a judge of the Federal High Court as at the time he sat and delivered the judgment that convicted the defendants for allegedly stealing about N7.1bn from Abia State treasury. According to the Supreme Court, Justice Liman, having been elevated to the Court of Appeal before then, lacked the powers to return to sit as a High Court judge.

Kudos to Gov Woke. These people felt the can break rules and go away with it at all times.

These guys are above the law. Just leave them alone and close interstate borders. Whatever they sow, let them reap it alone.

Controversy as NJC recommends relatives of Supreme Court judges, others to Buhari for appointmentsSome Nigerian lawyers have asked President Muhammadu Buhari to reject 33 candidates recommended to him by the National Judicial Council (NJC) for appointment as High Court judges of the Federal Capital Territory. Are the “relatives and others” Congolese? Corruption everywhere and someone will sit somewhere and make noise of fighting corruption, corruption kii you there This is very sad. If those who ordinarily should be willing to lay down their lifes in defence of justice and rule of law now go so low in recommending relatives as judges, what can we say other than it is finished !!! The country is gone, only the strongest survives.
