Orji Kalu expresses sadness over killing of soldiers in Aba

Chairman of the Senate Committee on Privatization and former Governor of Abia State, Dr. Orji Kalu has condemned in strong terms the killing of soldiers at a checkpoint in Aba on Thursday morning.

Speaking on the incident, Kalu described it as wicked, evil and unacceptable.

The former governor 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.

Kalu while calling on the people of Abia state to be calm and law-abiding, emphasized that peace is a panacea for development.

The Senator further commiserated with the Nigerian army on the sad development.

He said, “the killing of soldiers at a checkpoint in Aba is barbaric. The perpetrators must be identified for appropriate actions. For the sake of growth and progress of the South East, all hands must be on deck to fish out criminals in the region.”

Kalu further urged security agencies to investigate the unfortunate incident in a bid to forestall recurrence while praying for the repose of departed souls.
