With all these factors, he could not escape the wrath of the law. Kalu was convicted by the Lagos Division of the Federal High Court on Thursday, December 5, 2019, and sentenced to 12 years in prison for defrauding Abia State using his Slok Holding to divert N7.65 billion.

Alas, he was forgotten in a hurry as nobody placed an advertorial to celebrate him apart from his immediate family.

If he was not in prison, newspaper advertorials and wishes would have been flying around the media space. Many cows would have been slaughtered with choice wines flowing ceaselessly, friends and political associates would have been lodged at 5-star hotels.
