Justice Mohammed Liman of the Federal High Court in Lagos has ordered the release of Senator Orji Uzor Kalu from prison.
This comes weeks after a conviction against Kalu secured by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, was overruled by the Supreme Court.
A warrant for his release and that of a former Director Finance and Account at the Abia Government House, Ude Udeogu, was issued.
According to The Cable, the Supreme Court issued the warrant for the release of Udeogu who was held at Kuje prison, in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
