Kalu gets 12 years imprisonment for N7.65b fraud - The Nation Newspaper

Senate Chief Whip Orji Uzor Kalu was on Thursday jailed for 12 years after a 12-year trial for fraud and money laundering.

Kalu, who a senator on the ticket of the All Progressives Congress , was sentenced to five years each on counts 1 to 11, totalling 55 years; three years each on counts 23 to 33, totalling 30 years; and 12 years each on counts 34 to 38, totalling 48 years.Justice Idris said Kalu, the Senator representing Abia North, committed a crime against humanity.

Two defendants testified on behalf of themselves during the trial. But, Kalu merely offered a prepared statement. He exercised his right to refuse to testify or be cross-examined. The judge said: “The case was conclusively investigated as the prosecution conducted thorough investigations. No gaps were left unfilled. This is the acceptable practice.

He also prayed the court to wind up the company as provided by the law and order that all its assets be forfeited to the Federal Government.
