Recall that the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) had filed a suit to retry the Abia North senator over alleged money laundering case against Senator Kalu.
Justice Inyang Ekwo of Federal High Court, Abuja, while delivering judgement, on Wednesday, prohibited the nation’s anti-graft commission from retrying the ex-governor.
According to Ekwo, “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”.
