A warrant for the release of the former Director, Finance and Account, at the Abia Government House, Ude Udeogu, who was convicted alongside a former Governor of the State, Orji Uzor-Kalu, has been issued by the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
The Supreme Court issued the warrant for the release of Udeogu from Kuje Prison, in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, on Tuesday.
It was learnt that he may be released any moment from now by the Correctional Facility, to reunite with his family.
However, Kalu’s fate remains uncertain, without a warrant of release for him from prison.
