The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Monday arraigned Orji Uzor Kalu, former governor of Abia state, before a federal high court in Lagos over alleged charges of corruption.
Kalu presided over Abia between 1999 and 2007.
For eight years Orji’s trial could not commence because he challenged the criminal charges against him at various courts, stalling the case.
He had approached the appeal court for an order to stop his trial, but the court declined to grant his request.
On March 18, the supreme court also dismissed an appeal to stop his trial; thus paving the way for his re-arraignment on April 11. But the exercise was stalled as well on that day.
