Orji Uzor Kalu receives rousing welcome in Abia State as he returns Home months after release from Prison
Senator Orji Uzor Kalu received a rousing welcome when he returned to Abia state on Monday, July 27, months after he was released from prison.
Orji Uzor Kalu was sentenced to 12 years in prison after he was convicted for N7.1bn fraud alongside his firm, Slok Nigeria Limited, and a former Director of Finance during his tenure, Ugo Udeogu.
On the 8th of May, 2020 the supreme court nullified Kalu and Udeogo’s conviction on grounds that the presiding judge, Justice Mohammed Idris, lacked the jurisdiction to have presided over their case and so was released from prison.
On Monday, July 27, he made a triumphant return to the state and was received by his teeming supporters. See more photos below
welcome
I will just implore you to be good to your people because home is home.
OK
Nawa o
Welcome sha
How unpatrotic we are as citizen. What is there to celebrate in a thief. Abia state is one of the poorest state in the country and instead of them to protest the release of the man that impoverished them and stole their money, they are celebrating him. Thats why sometimes its good to leave people in their suffering because they dont deserve to be help. Abia state has no network of good road, erosion is devastating one of the biggest locag governments (Isikwato), no local nor international airport, Aba the commercial center of the town is one of the dirtiest town in the country, yet they are celebrating the thief that stole the common wealth
Welcome back to your state…but ….
This is very shameful. Sometimes we contribute to what makes our leaders loot our common wealth without shame. Is this man supposed to be celebrated? If yes, for what?
