The Supreme Court has ordered Orji Uzor Kalu, former Abia State Governor, to submit himself for trial on the money laundering charges.
The apex court also dismissed a similar appeal by an associate to the former governor, Udeh Jones Udehogow on similar grounds.. Justice Suleiman Galadima, who read the lead judgments in both appeals, upheld the concurrent decisions of the Federal High Court, Abuja and the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal, which had both earlier dismissed the accused persons’ objection to their trial.
