Senate chief whip and former Abia state governor, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, will be spending the Christmas in jail.
This comes after a Federal High Court dismissed his request for bail, pending his appeal of a 12 year sentence passed on him early Dece mber.
Recall that some weeks ago, a court in Lagos sentenced him to 12 years in prison for fraud to the tune of N7.1 billion.
The court ruled that the application for bail lacked merit.
