The Supreme Court yesterday directed the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to prosecute the former Governor of Abia
State, Dr. Orji Uzo Kalu on a 107-count corruption charges.
-
Reportedly, the charges border on alleged complicity
of Kalu in money laundering and illegal diversion of public funds to the tune
of N5.6 billion.
-
Alleged Kalu perpetuated the act while he was
the Governor of Abia State between 1999 and 2007.
-
EFCC docked Kalu before a Federal High Court in
Abuja on July 27, 2007, but the defendant, for the past 8years, through various
interlocutory applications, frustrated moves by EFCC to open a case against
him.
CULLED FROM VANGUARD
