The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC), on Saturday, marked properties belonging to Orji Uzor Kalu,
former Abia state governor.
Muhammed Idris, a judge of the
federal high court in Ikoyi, sentenced the former governor to 12 years in
prison for diverting N7 billion from the coffers of Abia state.
The judge also ordered that
Kalu’s Slok Nigeria Limited be liquidated and assets forfeited to the federal
government.
Wilson Uwujaren, spokesman of the
EFCC, said the marking is to ensure that
the properties are not dissipated following the order of the court.
Kalu is the senator representing
Abia north.
His trial began in 2007, but
suffered countless adjournments until 2019.
Godiya Akwashiki, spokesman of
the senate on December 8, said the seat of the convicted chief whip will not be
declared vacant.
