Former Abia state governor and Senator representing Abia North, Orji Uzor Kalu has reacted to the heinous murder of Labour Party chieftain, Mr Zachary Maduka by unknown assailants in the state.

In a statement, Kalu described the murder of Maduka, a member of his constituency,  as callous and unacceptable.

Maduka, popularly known as Power Zac, was beheaded by unknown persons on Thursday at Uturu in Isikwuato Local Government Area of Abia.

The deceased was the Campaign Director of the LP in the 2023 elections at Uturu.

He was also the Campaign Director of the Member representing Isuikwuato/Umunneochi Federal Constituency, Mr Amobi Ogah.
