Ebun Francis| A federal high court in Lagos has dismissed the bail application of jailed former governor of Abia state, Orji Uzor Kalu.
In a ruling on Monday, Justice Mohammed Liman of the federal high court who dismissed Kalu’s bail pending the determination of his appeal against his fraud conviction, said there was no evidence to prove Kalu was suffering from chronic diseases which weren’t contagious.
The court equally dismissed the Abia Senator’s argument that there are substantial grounds in his appeal against his conviction.
The former governor is currently serving a 12-year jail term over N7.1bn fraud he committed as Abia state governor between 2009 and 2007.
