Federal High Court sitting in Lagos on Tuesday gave an order for immediate release of Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu, the senator representing Abia North.

Kalu, a former governor of Abia state has been in Kuje Correctional facility since December last year after he was convicted on allegations bordering on corruption.
