🔏🔐🔒-Orji Uzor Kalu To Spend Christmas In Prison As Court Dismisses His Bail Request

Senate chief whip and former Abia state governor, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu will be spending the Christmas in jail.

 

This comes after a Federal High Court dismissed his request for bail, pending his appeal of a 12 year sentence passed on him early December.

 

Recall that some weeks ago, a court in Lagos sentenced him to 12 years in prison for fraud to the tune of N7.1 billion. 

 

The court ruled that the application for bail lacked merit.
