A Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, has ordered the release of Senator Orji Uzor Kalu from custody.
Justice Mohammed Liman ordered Kalu’s release on Tuesday morning after listening to an application filed by the former governor.
Kalu, a two-term former governor of Abia State, had urged the court to set aside his conviction on December 5, 2019, by Justice Mohammed Idris.
He explained that this became necessary since the Supreme Court, in its verdict delivered on May 8, 2020, held that Justice Idris gave the judgment without jurisdiction.
