\n
The Federal Government has asked the Court of Appeal in Abuja to set aside the September 29, 2021 judgment of the Federal High Court, prohibiting it from retrying a former Abia State Governor, Orji Uzoh Kalu and his firm, Slok Nigeria Limited over alleged N7.1billion fraud.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\nThe Fed Govt, acting through the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), also wants the appellate court to order Kalu and Slok to submit themselves for retrial in line with the order of the Supreme Court in its May 8, 2020 judgment voiding the earlier trial and conviction of Kalu and two others, and ordering a retrial.<\/div>\n
\nThe request are contained in two notices of appeal filed by lawyer to the EFCC, Rotimi Jacobs (SAN) against the two judgments delivered by Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Fereral High Court, Abuja on September 29.<\/div>\n
\nJustice Ekwo had, in the judgments on applications for judicial review filed by Kalu and Slok, upheld among others, thier argument that a retrial would subject them to double jeopardy having earlier been tried, convicted and sentenced on the same case.<\/div>\n
\nKalu was charged and tried with Slok and Udeogu for their alleged complicity in diverting the N7.1b from Abia State\u2019s coffers.<\/div>\n
\nThey were convicted and, while Kalu and Udeogu were imprisoned for 12 and 10 years, Slok was wound up.<\/div>\n
\nBut, upon an appeal by Udeogu, the Supreme Court set aside their trial and conviction in a judgment on May 8, 2020 on the grounds that the trial judge, having been elevated, ought not to have continued to hear the case.<\/div>\n
\nIn the judgment given in an appeal, marked: SC\/62C\/2019 filed by Udeogu, the Supreme Court ordered a retrial in the case.<\/div>\n
\nAlthough Kalu and his firm were not appellants in the appeal in respect of which the Supreme Court gave its judgment, they later tendered the judgment before the Federal High Court Lagos and the court applied the judgment to them and set them free.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In the nine-ground notice of appeal filed in relation to Kalu, the EFCC argued that Justice Ekwo erred in law when he, on one hand agreed that the earlier trial, conviction and sentencing of Kalu was duly voided, but turned around to old that a retrial would subject the ex-governor (now a serving Senator) to double jeopardy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
It argued that the trial judge was was wrong to have held \u201cthat the plea of autrefois acquit and autrefois convict (previously acquitted and previously convicted) and the principle of jeopardy availed the first respondent (Kalu) and that the re-trial of the respondent would amount to the violation of the provisions of Section 36 (9) and (10) of Constitution Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) and Section 238 of the Administrator of Criminal\u00a0 Justice Act, 2015.\u201d<\/div>\n
\nThe EFCC noted that Justice Ekwo\u2019s decision was to the effect that the Supreme Court has declared the proceedings conducted by the Federal High Court presided over by\u00a0 Justice M.B Idris that led to Kalu\u2019s conviction a nullity and one made without jurisdiction.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cHaving found that the conviction the first respondent (Kalu) was delivered by a court without competent jurisdiction, it is absurd for the lower court to depart from the express provisions of section 36 (9) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and Section 238 of the ACJA, 2015 and then apply the principles of double jeopardy and autrefois convict.<\/div>\n
\n\u201cThe lower court failed to consider the decisions of the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal cited before it to the effect that the doctrine of double jeopardy or autrefois convict is only applicable to a decision delivered by a court of competent jurisdiction.\u201d<\/div>\n
\nThe EFCC also faulted Justice Ekwo for making an order prohibiting the Fedral Government and its agencies from retrying Kalu and is company on the same case.<\/div>\n
\n\u201cThe evidence before the lower court was that the Supreme Court, in appeal No: SC.622C\/2019 between Ude Jones Udeogu v. FRN had nullified the proceedings conducted by Hon. Justice M.B Idris that led to the convictions and sentence of all the respondents in this appeal.<\/div>\n
\n\u201cHowever, it was only Ude Jones Udeogu that was the appellant. Since it was a joint trial of all the respondents, the first respondent, by his motion filed on 15th May, 2020 prayed the Federal High Court presided over by Justice A. M. Liman that the proceedings that led to his conviction be nullified on the ground that Hon. Justice M.B Idris, JCA lacks jurisdiction to deliver the judgment in line with the decision of the Supreme Court.\u201d<\/div>\n
\nThe EFCC also faulted the trial court for holding that Kalu could not be tried again by the Federal High Court on te grounds that the Supreme Court did not order his re-trial.<\/div>\n
\nIt noted that although it was based on the appeal filed by Udeogu that the Supreme Court acted it voiding te proceedings leading to their convicting and sentence, Kalu tendered the Supreme Court judgment before another judge of the Federal High Court (Justice Liman) who applied the judgment to him and ordered is release from prison on that basis of the judgment.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe pronouncement of the Supreme Court as to the competence of the trial conducted by Hon. Justice MB ldris and the re-trial order in appeal No: SC.622C\/2019 was limited to the said second respondent herein (Udeogu).<\/div>\n
\n\u201cThe first respondent took advantage of the decision of the Supreme Court in appeal No: SC.622C\/2019 and filed a motion before Hon. Justice A. M. Liman that since he was tried jointly with the other respondents and in view of the decision of the Supreme Court, that his conviction and sentence should also be declared a nullity.<\/div>\n
\n\u201cThe lower court permitted the first respondent to rely on the decision of the Supreme Court in appeal No: SC.622C\/2019 to take benefit of the order of nullity made by the Supreme Court on the judgment of Hon. Justice M. B. Idris and to avoid the burden of a retrial order made by the Supreme Court.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe law will not permit the first respondent to approbate and reprobate at the same time,\u201d it said.<\/div>\n
\nThe EFCC further faulted the trial court for holding among othersn that \u201cthe appellant (EFCC) was merely appealing to the sentiments for the retrial of the first respondent and that the entire proceedings in exhibit RJ3 and RJ4 have no bearing with the proceedings of the court in this case.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
It noted that while exhibit RJ3 is the motion on notice Kalu filed to set aside the proceedings conducted by Justice Idris, and exhibit RJ4 is the order by Justice Liman, made on\u00a0 June 30, 2020 which set aside the judgment or the proceedings conducted by Justice Idris after his elevation to the Court of Appeal.
\n\u201cIt was pursuant to exhibits RJ3 and RJ4 that the first espondent was released from the prison on the grounds that the judgment delivered by Hcn. Justice M. B. Idrs JCA was a nullity.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cIt is shocking that the order of competent jurisdiction made by Hon. Justice A.M. Liman was declared by the lower court as irrelevant to the proceedings.<\/div>\n
\n\u201cThere is no appeal against the decision and order of Hon. Justice A. M. Liman pending before\u00a0 E. I. Ekwo, J.<\/div>\n
\n\u201cEkwo, J. sat on appeal against the order of Hon. Justice A.M Liman, setting aside the judgment delivered on the 5th December, 2019 after the elevation of on Justice M. B. Idris\u00a0 ground of jurisdiction.<\/div>\n
\n\u201cThe lower court excluded the most relevant evidence before it so as to shield the first respondent from criminal prosecution.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
