Bawa said this while speaking with State House correspondents at
the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Recall that Kalu had been convicted up to the Court of Appeal
before the Supreme Court set him free on technical grounds.
Bawa also said the commission was set to begin prosecution of
800 new corruption cases.
He said the cases to be filed will border on public corruption
and cybercrime.
The cases were delayed largely because of the strike by
judiciary workers who shut down courts in Nigeria for over two
months and only recently suspended the strike.
