Orji Kalu To Fight 12 Year Jail Term In Court

A serving senator and ex-governor of Abia State, Orji Kalu, will be returning to court, to file a stay of execution of the 12-year jail sentence slammed on him on Thursday, December 4 for N7.65 billion fraud.

His lawyers are said to be carrying this out on his behalf after he and a former director of finance in his administration, Ude Udeogo, were handed jail sentences by a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos.

Daily Sun quoted one of Uzor-Kalu’s lawyers, Chief Charles Ewelunta, as saying the senator’s legal team now has the Certified True Copy (CTC) of the judgment.

He said the CTC was being studied to help the team in filing an appeal that would be preceded by an application for stay of execution and bail.
