Chairman, Senate Committee on Privatization and former Governor of Abia State, Senator Orji Kalu, has condemned in strong terms the killing of soldiers at a checkpoint in Aba on Thursday morning.
Describing the incident as “wicked, evil and unacceptable,” Kalu called on security agencies to fish out the perpetrators of the ugly act, noting that the personnel of the armed forces don’t deserve to be maltreated in view of the role they play in national security.
The former governor of Abia State, while calling on the people of Abia to be calm and law-abiding, emphasised that peace is a panacea for development.
In a statement made available to The Guardian, Kalu commiserated with the Nigerian Army on the sad development.
