Following the resistance of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) to back down from retrial of Senator Orji Kalu, the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has adjourned to 2nd July, 2021 for the adoption of processes filed by parties.
Senator Kalu, in the suit, is seeking the prohibition of the case by the federal government, through the EFCC from retrying him with respect to the charges which he was convicted and sentenced.
The presiding judge, Justice Inyang Ekwo, noted that hearing the application filed by the applicant will commence.
Justice Ekwo had earlier granted Senator Kalu permission to apply for order of perpetual injunction against the federal government through EFCC to prohibit his retrial.
Counsel to the EFCC insisted that Senator Kalu will be retried as that was the consequential order of the Supreme Court.
