Abia Speaker denies ordering shooting of FRSC officers
Speaking with newsmen at his official residence in Umuahia, the Speaker of Abia State House of Assembly, Barr Chikwendu Kalu,
condemned his security aides and also denied ordering them to shoot two
Federal Road safety corps officers, at Aro -Ngwa axis of the Enugu
Port- Harcourt express on Saturday.
He said:
“I received a distress call that while my wife was on her way to Aba with her friend and orderly, some officers of the FRSC accosted her car, ordered them to come out of her car and started hitting her car with their stick, and finally dragged out her chief details, who is equally a woman out of the car” he said.
When I was informed of the incident, I sent my details to find out who the people in question were, because we thought the people on that uniform may not be right people, it was in the course of doing that the incident happened.
I was informed that somebody sustained a gunshot injury and we been
on top of the situation, trying to find out what really happened. But I
want to say that with every sense of responsibility and humility that
I’m well informed about the importance of human life, and equally aware
of the provisions of section 33, sub-section (1) of the 1999
constitution as amended that forbids taking away one’s life, I’m equally
aware of the sister provision of section 33 sub-section (2) of the same
constitution on the mode a human life could be taken.
I strongly condemn any over zealousness on the side of any security personnel be the person a member of the Police, Road Safety, the Army and Department of States services. I think I will be the last person to encourage it because it doesn?t augur well with State and the Country at large.
“I’m well informed enough to know that I don?t have the authority to order anybody to shoot and I can’t even encourage such an action, even in the highest degree of provocation, I think I will move to the law court as practicing lawyer, before I joined politics?
