Senator Orji Kalu, has asked a Federal High, Abuja, to strike out his name from the N7.1billion fraud charge filed against him and two others by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission .
The EFCC based on the judgment of the Supreme Court had sought to rearraign Kalu, his company and one Jones Udeogu, who was Commissioner of Finance, when Kalu was Abia State Governor. However, the scheduled rearraignment of the former Commissioner of Finance in Abia state, Jones Udeogu, whom the court had ordered his retrial as well as hearing of all pending applications could not go on.
In view of the foregoing, the trial judge, Justice Inyang Ekwo adjourned with the consensus of parties to March 10, for hearing of Kalu and Slok’s applications as well as EFCC’s motion on notice seeking transfer of the matter to Lagos. It was the opinion of the court that since Kalu was not mentioned in the judgment of the Supreme Court, which had nullified his conviction and sentencing and ordered a retrial, the judgment did not apply to him.
While the company was ordered to be shut by the federal government, Kalu and Udeogu were subsequently jailed for 12 years.
