Justice Idris Threatens To Jail Ex-Gov Orji Uzor Kalu

Justice Mohammed Idris on Monday vowed to apply the full weight of the law on former governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu, for absenting himself from the Federal High Court in Lagos for the continuation of his N7.65bn alleged fraud case.






Justice Idris recalled that on July 31, the former governor begged for a six-week adjournment on the claim that he had a surgery appointment in Germany. No one, no matter how highly placed, can be above the law. Let it be said loud and clear that this court will apply the law with the full force it requires,” Justice Idris said in his ruling on Monday.


Kalu’s lawyer, Mr Gordy Uche (SAN), who appealed for adjournment, said: “The medical appointment was slated for the 2nd of August, but he couldn’t get a flight to Germany. Unfortunately, the surgeon went on summer vacation, however, the appointment is slated for (Monday).”


Reacting, the prosecuting counsel for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr Rotimi Jacobs (SAN), contended that the former governor had no justification to be absent from the court. "He (Kalu) cannot, on his own, extend the medical permission given to him by this court; a person going about everywhere obtaining chieftaincy title, doing politics in the country; this (surgical) appointment is contrary to the order of this court. Having jumped bail, I apply that his bail be revoked,” Jacobs said.


The judge, however, adjourned the case till September 20 and 21, 2018, stressing that Kalu must make himself available.

  1. It's a pity that in Nigeria some people are above the law. I hope the law works for real this time.

  2. Suddenly Orji Uzor grows wings to avoid court summons and hearing simply on the fact he has joined the party of saints and has the devil as a hit man. If this man go scot free then posterity won't forgive all those who exonerated him from guilt.
