FG Asks Court To Order Fresh Trial Of Orji Kalu Over Money Laundering
The Federal Government has asked the Court of Appeal in Abuja to order fresh trial of a former governor of Abia State, ORJI KALU, over alleged money laundering.
The government asked the appellate court to void and set aside the September 29, 2021 judgment of a Federal High Court in Abuja which stopped it from retrying KALU and his firm, Slok Nigeria Limited, over alleged 7.1 billion naira fraud.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission also asked the Appellate Court to order KALU and his firm to submit themselves for retrial in line with the order of the Supreme Court in its May 8, 2020 judgment that voided the earlier trial and conviction of KALU and two others.
