Justice and Equity Movement
(JEM) a non-governmental organisation based in Abuja has drawn the attention of
the EFCC to the new private jet bought by Ex Abia Governor Uzor kalu (OUK) that
worths 12 billion Naira. It was reported in the media last week that kalu who
is facing trial for looting Abia funds running into billions, was said to have
bought the gulf stream jet at a time he was owing eight months salary at Sun
and Telegraph . Addressing journalists in Abuja the Coordinator of JEM, Comrade
kingsley Adewale said his group is worried that Kalu's trial by EFCC is yet to
resume.
The group stated that it is an irony that kalu who is supposed to have been in jail and the billions retrieved, is brandishing a new jet bought with looted funds from Abia. The group called on the EFCC to act quickly on Kalu's case as the agency is doing on the cases of other ex governors. JEM hinted that Kalu is heartless as he is owing 8 months salaries in his Newspapers establishments.
JEM condemned one Sun Newspapers staff, Steve Nwosu, who claimed in his write up Frank talk that kalu is not owing staff. Steve should be ashamed of himself, this is the same man that demoted him from daily editor to ordinary staff. Steve was also abandoned by kalu when he was attacked by armed robbers the group added. JEM said that it will not rest until Kalu is prosecuted as it will serve as deterrent to other politicians.
