The office of the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) had earlier written to the Federal High Court, Abuja, to get a fresh hearing date on the case which started in 2007. In response to the letter from the OAGF, the court listed the case for mention on Wednesday. When the reopened on Wednesday, the prosecution was represented by Rotimi Jacobs (SAN), while the defence was not represented in court. Kalu was first arraigned by the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on July 27, 2007. He approached the Court of Appeal to set aside the ruling of the Federal High Court that he had a case to answer. The appellate court dismissed the appeal for lack of merit and gave the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) the nod to prosecute him, a decision he later appealed at the Supreme Court.]]>
