Former Abia Governor Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has been released from Kuje Custodial Centre, Abuja where he was serving a 12-year sentence following an order to that effect by the Federal High Court in Lagos.
Kalu was reportedly released around 7:30pm.
Justice Mohammad Liman of the Federal High Court in Lagos on Tuesday ordered the release of Kalu following his conviction last December for alleged looting of N7.65b belonging to Abia.
