The Federal High Court Abuja has fixed July 2, 2021, for the adoption of the processes Senate Chief Whip, Orji Uzor Kalu, filed in the suit challenging his retrial by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for alleged money laundering.
He argued that having been tried, convicted and sentenced on the same charges in a suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CR/56/2007 under Justice M. B. Idris, it would amount to double jeopardy if the EFCC tried him again. He further narrated how the trial court, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court rejected his application to quash the charges.
Kalu disclosed that at the trial, the prosecution called 19 witnesses and thereafter, closed its case, which necessitated him and other defendants to enter a no-case submission individually.
