There may be a twist to the case of a former Abia State Governor, Orji Uzor Kalu, if the court grants his current prayer.
He is serving 12 years jail for fraud.
He has, however, asked the court grant him bail from prison, citing a sickness.
He said in an application on Tuesday that he is battling serious health challenges that the medical facilities in the prison cannot handle.
He said since the offences he was convicted of were bailable offences, the court should free him while he challenges his conviction by Justice Mohammed Idris at the Court of Appeal.
He also stressed that as the Chief Whip of the Senate and the senator representing Abia North Senatorial District the interest of his constituents would be in jeopardy if he was kept behind bars.
