N3.2bn fraud: EFCC re-arraigns ex-governor Kalu, two others.     The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has re-arraigned a former governor of Abia, Orji Kalu and two others on a 34-count amended charge bordering on fraud. Kalu, his company, Slok Nigeria Limited and his former Commissioner for Finance, Jones Udeogo, were re-arraigned before Justice Anwuri Chikere of the Federal High Court, Abuja on Tuesday. The defendants’ plea that the court should await the pending appeal by Slok before the Supreme Court failed.

They all pleaded not guilty to the charges and Chikere allowed them on bail on the terms attached to the bail granted them on April 30, 2008. They had, eight year...
