Federal Republic of Nigeria v. Orji Uzor Kalu & Slok Nigeria Ltd
Ongoing
What the case is about
EFCC prosecution over the alleged diversion of about ₦7.65 billion of Abia State funds during Kalu's 1999–2007 governorship.
Ruling & compliance
Kalu was convicted and jailed in 2019, but the Supreme Court set the conviction aside in 2020 because the trial judge had sat on the case after being elevated to the Court of Appeal, and ordered a fresh trial. The retrial remains pending.
