A former Governor of Abia State, Mr. Orji Uzor Kalu has remained in Kuje Prison because the judgment of the Supreme Court does not affect him.
The Apex Court, it was learnt, did not issue any order for Kalu’s release because he did not file any application for such.
The Comptroller-General of Nigeria Correctional Service Mr. Jaafar Ahmed, has also refused to release Kalu because there was no any order from the Supreme Court.
It was learnt Kalu may have to approach the Court of Appeal, where he has a pending matter, to ask for his release following the dismissal of the judgment of the Federal High Court, Lagos by the Supreme Court.
According to a copy of the judgment exclusively obtained by THE NATION, the Supreme Court clearly stated that the judgment relates only to the Appellant.
