Orji Uzor Kalu Says Prison Taught Him Life Lessons and He Has No Regrets

Orji Uzor Kalu says the six months he spent in prison gave him time to reflect and changed his outlook on life. Speaking on Arise Television, the senator said he disagreed with his conviction but does not regret the experience, describing it as a place where he learned and grew in humility. Kalu was convicted in 2019 over a case involving an alleged ₦7.1 billion fraud and sentenced to 12 years in prison. The Supreme Court nullified the conviction in 2020, ruling that the trial judge lacked jurisdiction. Kalu was then released from Kuje Correctional Centre, where he had spent about six months. He also said people dissatisfied with court decisions should seek redress through higher courts.
