A former Governor of Abia State, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, has accused the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of plotting to convict
him at all cost.
He also challenged the transfer of suit No
FHC/ABJ/CR/56/07 filed against him and two others by the Federal
Government from Abuja to Lagos. Kalu, in a letter through his counsel,
Amobi Nzelu, dated October 15 and addressed to the acting Chairman of
the EFCC, Mr Ibrahim Magu, noted that the Commission, without his
knowledge or that of his counsel, requested for the transfer of the case
to Lagos. The copies of the letter were sent to the Attorney General of
the Federation and Hon. Chief Judge, Federal High Court.
“There is no justification legally, morally or otherwise for the said
transfer if not to secure conviction at all cost and put him into
avoidable expenses of moving his defence team to Lagos whenever the case
comes up.
