The cases were delayed largely because of the strike by judiciary workers who shut down courts in Nigeria for over two months.

The chairman of the commission, Abdulrasheed Bawa, said this Thursday as part of the weekly briefing by Heads of MDAs to give an update on their performance in office. He addressed State House reporters in Abuja.The cases were delayed largely because of the strike by judiciary workers who shut down courts in Nigeria for over two months and only recently suspended the strike.

At the event, Mr Bawa also vowed that former Abia governor Orji Kalu “will be prosecuted all over again.”PREMIUM TIMES reported how Mr Kalu was set free by the Supreme Court on technicalities after being convicted of stealing billions of naira when he was Abia State Governor . Without addressing the substance of the case, the Supreme Court ruled that the trial judge that found him guilty had been elevated to the appeal court and should not have ruled on the matter.

“This case was instituted on October 16, 2009, but judgment was only given yesterday. But we are determined to continue prosecuting no matter how long it takes,” he said.

What happens to Theodore Orji and son Chinedum Orji who have captured Abia funds in their pocket.

Hope Tinubu, Oshiomole, Amaechi, Nyako and son, Akpabio, Ganduje, and many others are included so we can take you serious.

I hope Danjuma Goje’s case is also taken up.

I wish him good luck.

This guy is playing with Nigerian politicians oooo. He should know better that revisiting issues like that of orji or Akpabio is like a situation where a chicken trying to unearth the ground, not really knowing what's there; perhaps the knife that will be used to kill it.

The number of money sucking demons in this Country is on the high side

This one will take another 10yrs.
