The Senate Chief Whip, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, has paid a sympathy visit to the former Senate Majority Leader, Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba, at his Abuja residence over the looting and destruction of his property by hoodlums.
Edoma –Egba’s house in Calabar, Cross River State, was invaded by hoodlums during the EndSARS protest.
The Senator who, was not in the country at the time of the incident, said in a statement that the sponsored hoodlums broke into his house and looted it to the ground leaving only the bare floor
He said: “All the toilets, baths, pumps and indeed every imaginable fitting were removed as were items of furniture, clothing, a huge collection of mainly rare, out of print books, documents and historic photographs.
“They also removed all the windows, railings, family pictures and burglar proofs. Even my private chapel was not spared.
“They set the cars and parts of the building ablaze after more than four hours of interrupted operations in my house. It was methodical. Among the intruders were obviously electricians, plumbers, carpenters, motor mechanics, panel beaters and other tradesmen,” Edoma-Egba said.
The Chief Whip of the Senate whose friendship with Senator Ndoma-Egba dates many years, had earlier in a statement condemned the destruction and called it unpleasant.
He condoled with the entire family of Senator Ndoma-Egba over the huge loss and urged them to forgive everyone and continue their good work in the society
