An ally of the Senate Chief Whip, Orji Uzor Kalu, has narrated how the so-called ‘Unknown Gunmen’ terrorising many parts of Nigeria’s southeast region, stormed the lawmaker’s ward-to-ward tour of Ohafia Local Government Area (LGA).
POLITICS NIGERIA had reported on Thursday that at least one person was shot dead in Ebem Ohafia community, Ohafia LGA of Abia State, after security agents reportedly battled some criminals.
The incident happened on Wednesday evening, just after Kalu visited the LGA for a tour.
While some reports say the former governor was chased out of Ohafia by the gunmen, a source close to him who pleaded for anonymity, explained that the lawmaker and his entourage had visited some communities in Ohafia including Okon and Amangwu before coming to Ebem without any hitches.
He stated that the Senator was holding a meeting with his Ebem hosts when the gunmen stormed the venue and said they did not want to have politicians holding any political gathering in the area.
According to him, when they were told it was Senator Kalu, they retreated and said he could carry on with his programme.
“But unfortunately, I don’t know the issue they had with a soldier when they left the place that resulted into a quarrel between them and soldiers.
“Even when Senator Kalu was going, some of the boys were hailing him.
“Nobody chased him out of Ohafia. It was a pure lie,” the source told the press.
