EFCC to prosecute Orji Kalu again – Bawa

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has said it would begin a fresh case to prosecuting a former governor of Abia State, Orji Kalu, all over again.

EFCC Chairman Abdulrasheed Bawa, disclosed this on Thursday while addressing journalists during the weekly ministerial chat at the State House in Abuja.

He said Kalu “will be prosecuted all over again.”

The anti-graft agency boss also said he is not perturbed over the threats to his life and he is determined to prosecute the many pending cases under trial.

Recall that Kalu had been convicted up to the Court of Appeal before the Supreme Court set him free on technical grounds.

Bawa revealed that since he resumed office, a number of recoveries have been made including N6billion, $161million, £13,000 pounds, €1,730 among others.

Internet fraudsters numbering 1,502 have also been apprehended between January to June 2021and efforts are underway to file about 800 of them. A hundred cases will be filed in court.
