Kalu: EFCC wants to convict me at all cost

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.
