Orji Kalu Reveals Past as Arms Dealer in Shocking Interview

Senator Orji Kalu, representing Abia North, publicly acknowledged his past as an international arms dealer during an interview on November 9. He stated that he sold heavy weapons to anyone who could pay, confirming that he operated across several African countries.

Kalu revealed that he ceased his arms dealings at the request of his parents but expressed no regret regarding the potential consequences of his trade. When questioned about supplying weapons to Libya's late leader Muammar Gaddafi, he did not deny it.

Kalu maintained that his dealings involved heavy arms between governments rather than street-level firearms, pushing back against claims that he contributed to Nigeria's small arms issues. He also discussed his connections with South African political leaders, including Nelson Mandela, Thabo Mbeki, and Cyril Ramaphosa.

Additionally, Kalu stated he would resign from the All Progressives Congress if President Bola Tinubu disrespects the Catholic bishops or the opposition.
