A former Abia State governor, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, yesterday, asked Justice Mohammed Idris of a Federal High Court in Lagos to dismiss an alleged N3.2 billion fraud filed against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Eyes Of Lagos gathered that, The former governor, who made this application in a no case submission, is arguing that the anti-graft agency had failed to link him to the offence.

We were also served with the defendants’ motion for no case submissions”, he said.

for what reasons. when someone has already jailed for 14years

A governor is languishing in prison according to the news for misappropriating public funds to the tune of over a N1 billion while a Buhari apologist here who misappropriated N3.2 billion has the effrontery to approach a law court to quash his criminal case so much for justice under Sai Barbarians and Sai baba indeed 2019 will be very sweet for anti Buhari folks but will be too hot for pro Buharis in the country

Efcc ought to make a strong case to put this internally displaced politician in jail for laying the foundation of wrath in abia state before they can be taken serious because his handwork is clear for the deaf and blind to see.

If Orji Uzo Kalu is not jailed, there will never be justice for the good people of Abia State. I don't know what EFCC is actually doing, the man that succeeded him did worst than him and he's sleeping free at the Senate.
