The Federal High Court has barred the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission from retrying Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu, former governor of Abia.
The order was issued by Justice Inyang Ekwo in a judgment on an application filed by the former governor seeking a court order prohibiting the EFCC from retrying him on a charge for which he had already been tried and convicted.
The judge said: “An order is hereby made prohibiting the Federal Government through the EFCC from retrying the applicant (Kalu) on charge no. FHC/ABJ/CR/56/2007, since there was no order in the judgment of the Supreme Court for the retrial of Kalu”.
Orji Kalu is the chief whip of the Nigerian Senate.
