The Federal High Court, Abuja has discontinued the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) from retrying former Abia Governor, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu.
The court has put an end to the reopening the trial of Kalu on the N7.1 billion money laundering charge brought against him by the EFCC.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, the order was given by Justice Inyang Ekwo while delivering judgment in an application filed by the former governor seeking an order of the court prohibiting the EFCC from retrying him on a charge for which he had already been tried and convicted.
In the judgement, the court held that the Supreme Court did not in the verdict it gave on May 8, 2020, order the retrial of either Kalu or his firm, Slok Nigeria Limited.
