Elder statesman and leader of the Ijaw Nation, Edwin Clark has condemned the recent killing of soldiers in Delta State. Clark described the incident as shocking, barbaric and wicked, adding that the military together with the communities should take it as a task to search for the people who committed the murder.
He made this known on Tuesday while fielding questions on Arise Television's News programme. Clark also appealed to soldiers to act with restraint and not take law in their own hands, noting that with modern technology they should be able to fish out very soon those who committed the crime. 'What happened a few days ago is very shocking, very barbaric and wicked.
At that time he was speaking to me from Agbor in Delta State. 'There's another one, Major B. I spoke to him about the same time on Wednesday. So I am indeed very very sad that we should lose such a people at a time, even in the Boko Haram war we have never lost soldiers like that. We all support Mr President when he said the people should be looked for,' he said.
