Senate Chief Whip, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has, on Tuesday, been dragged back to the Federal High Court in Abuja ahead of his arraignment.

The ex-Governor is set to be docked before Justice Inyang Ekwo on money laundering related charges.

Kalu was earlier found guilty and handed a 12-year jail term by the Lagos Division of the court.

The trial court convicted him alongside his firm, Slok Nigeria Limited and a former Director of Finance in Abia State, Jones Udeogu, for allegedly stealing about N7.1billion from the state treasury.

But his conviction was overruled by an Appeal Court.
