Politician and businessman, Senator Orji Uzoh Kalu, representing Abia North is probably born under the lucky star. Series of events unfolding around him lately shows that he is indeed a child of uncommon grace.
For close to 12 years, he had been arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission alongside his company, Slok Nigeria Limited and Udeh Udeogu, his Director of Finance and Accounts at the Abia State Government House, over an amended 39-count charge bordering on conspiring and diverting the sum of N7.65bn from the coffers of the state when he was Governor from 1999-2007.
While he awaited his fate in the apex court, many of his critics had written him off on regaining his freedom. The worst happened when he turned age 60, not much was said about the Senate Chief Whip. At this point, Kalu knew he was alone to himself. With his self-belief, he kept on pressing through his lawyer to regain freedom and shame his detractors.
This, however, didn’t go accordingly as there were hitches until June 2, when Justice M. Liman, gave a judgment that ordered his release from Kuje correctional facility.
