The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on Monday, gave the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, the nod to arraign the
former Governor of Abia State, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu on May 16.
Kalu who was hitherto answering to a 107-count corruption charge, will enter fresh plea to an amended 112-count charge dated February 11, 2008.
Trial Justice Anwuli Chikere granted EFCC the leave to re-arraign the former governor after she was furnished with judgment of the Supreme Court, which on March 18, held that the defendant has a criminal case to answer.
Kalu will be arraigned alongside his firm Slok Nigeria Limited and his alleged accomplice Mr. Udeh Jones Udeogu.
