The Chief Whip of the Nigerian Senate, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has been docked again as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) begins his retrial at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
The ex-Governor of Abia State was docked before Justice Inyang Ekwo on N7.1billion money laundering charges.
Kalu was earlier found guilty and handed a 12-year jail term by the Lagos Division of the court.
The trial court convicted him alongside his firm, Slok Nigeria Limited and a former Director of Finance in Abia State, Jones Udeogu, for allegedly stealing about N7.1billion from the state treasury.
But his conviction was overruled by an Appeal Court.
Below is video of Kalu in court on Tuesday.
