S/Court judgement on Kalu unfortunate, says EFCC...Promises to begin fresh trial immediately

Orji Uzor Kalu
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has described as unfortunate the Supreme Court judgement voiding the conviction of former Governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu, over allegations of N7.1 billion fraud. 
The anti-graft agency, Friday in a statement by its spokesman, Dele Oyewale, shortly after the Supreme Court judgement, added that it was also ready to commence a fresh trial on the matter immediately.
Text of the statement below: 
“The attention of the Economic And Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has been drawn to the judgment of the Supreme Court nullifying the trial of a former governor of Abia State, Orji Kalu, his firm, Slok Nigeria Limited and Jones Udeogu, a former Director of Finance and Account of Abia State Government and ordering their fresh trial at the lower court.
“The apex court based its verdict on the grounds that Justice Mohammed Idris, who convicted Kalu and others had been elevated to the Court of Appeal before the judgment and returned to the lower court to deliver the judgment, which it considered as illegal.
“The EFCC considers the judgment of the apex court as quite unfortunate. It is a technical ambush against the trial of the former governor. The Commission is prepared for a fresh and immediate trial of the case because its evidences against Kalu and others are overwhelming.
“The corruption charges against Kalu still subsist because the Supreme Court did not acquit him of them. The entire prosecutorial machinery of the EFCC would be launched in a fresh trial where justice is bound to be served in due course.”
