The former governor of Abia state was released from the Kuje Correctional Centre last week. He had spent five months in prison.

former governor of Abia State, Senator Orji Kalu, who was jailed for allegedly stealing public funds, has been released from custody.

SaharaReporters gathered that Kalu was freed from the Kuje facility in Abuja on Wednesday evening.

A source close to the former governor said he was now in his Abuja residence, off Queen Amina Street, within the perimeter of Aso Rock Presidential Villa.

A Lagos Division of the Federal High Court had on Tuesday ordered the immediate release of Kalu from the correctional centre.

Mohammed Liman, the judge, granted an application moved by his counsel Lateef Fagbemi seeking his release.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission did not oppose the application.
