A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has declared that the former governor of Abia State, Mr. Orji Uzor Kalu violated his bail conditions for failing to appear in court and, therefore, ordered his arrest.
ElombahNews had recently reported that the former governor left the country despite presidential order banning him and several others from leaving the country.
According to Kalu’s media aide, Kunle Oyewunmi, his principal left the country aboard a Lufthansa aircraft to Germany for surgery.
Kalu was listed among the 50 high-profile Nigerians barred by the Federal Government from travelling out of the country for alleged involvement in corrupt practices.
