Justice Idris Mohammed
of the Federal High Court in Lagos, has sentenced Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu, to 12
years imprisonment after declaring the former Abia state governor guilty
of N7.1bn fraud charges levelled against
him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
The Judge declared Kalu and his co-defendants
guilty of the 39 counts filed against them by the EFCC.
While being escorted
out of court, Kalu, who is the Senate’s Chief Whip, begged the prison warders
not to handcuff him in public.
“Where
are you taking us to now? Please don’t handcuff me. I will follow you.” he said
