ALLEGED CORRUPTION: NNAMDI KANU JUBILATES AS SUPREME COURT DISMISSES ORJI UZO KALU'S CONVICTION

👉 We have set Orji Uzor Kalu free today and while all reasonable Igbo people are happy
👉 I am also looking forward to hearing the same about Olisah Metuh soon.

The Supreme Court on Friday nullified the conviction of former governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu. Kalu was sentenced to 12 years in prison over N7.16 billion fraud by a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos, on December 5.

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has reacted to the victory of former Abia State Governor, Orji Uzor Kalu.

The Biafran leader thanked God for the court ruling which went in favour of the Senator representing Abia North at the National Assembly.

The Biafran leader in a statement on his official Facebook page said we have set Orji Uzor Kalu free today and while all reasonable Igbo people are happy.

Kanu wrote, "God Almighty Chukwu Okike Abiama takes all the glory but I must also say that the moderately reasonable Alimajiri judge that quashed the original conviction should be commended for saving Abba Kyari & the rest of the core north from damaging scrutiny and global shame by #IPOB. Those that ignore our warnings do so at their peril.

"We have set Orji Uzor Kalu free today and while all reasonable Igbo people are happy, I am also looking forward to hearing the same about Olisah Metuh soon.

"There are other victims of this lopsided prosecution, they are incarcerated and MUST be released until all stolen money by this cabal is accounted for, starting from the nearly 14Billion Aso Rock Clinic they looted from 2015 to date.

"I am calling for an end to selective prosecution and the immediate release of the following people:

"Joshua Dariye, Jolly Nyame, James Bala Ngilari

"Until such a time that Nigeria is serious about prosecuting all looters, nobody should be in prison. You cannot be jailing Christians from the Middle Belt and South in the name of fighting corruption while Fulani arch looters are jostling for who will be the next Chief of Staff and in effect de-facto president. Such injustice is what we are against not your fight against corruption."

On Friday, the Supreme Court gave a fresh order. The Chief Judge of the Federal High Court will reassign the case for a fresh trial.
