He quoted Kalu's wife, Ifunanya, as saying that the surgery was successful, adding that the ex-governor had regained consciousness.

She was quoted as saying "Although the surgery was successful, my husband will still have to be monitored closely by a medical team for at least four months in order to prevent complications.

"His condition is improving gradually and he will be fine if he is able to keep to his doctor's advice," she added.

Kalu, alongside his company, Slok Nigeria Limited, and a former Director of Accounts and Finance at the Abia State Government House, Ude Udeogu, is facing N7.65 billion fraud charges before the Federal High Court in Lagos.
