The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has said it will amend its records following the rejection of it’s case against a former Abia State governor, Orji Uzor Kalu, by the Court of Appeal.
The EFCC attempted to reopen the N6.7bn fraud case against Kalu on Wednesday, but the appellate court, in a pronouncement by Justice Joseph Oyewole, says the records brought forward by the EFCC are unreliable to grant the request for Kalu’s fresh trial.
After the judgment, EFCC lawyer, Oluwaleke Atolagbe said the commission will put in place what the court noted and it will be back to the court of appeal for the merit of the case to be determined.
