Alleged N7.5B Fraud; Court Revokes Orji Kalu’s Bail
A federal high court in Lagos has revoked the bail granted Orji Uzor Kalu, ex-Abia state governor, for failure to appear before it.
Kalu is facing trial for an alleged fraud of N7.65bn. His trial was stalled last week due to his absence in court.
Kunle Oyewunmi, his media aide, had said Kalu was absent because he was flown to Germany for an undisclosed ailment.
But Mohammed Idris, the judge, said due process was not followed before Kalu travelled. He gave the former governor a 7-day ultimatum to appear in court.
Kalu was not in court on Monday, making the judge to revoke the bail earlier granted to him.
