He prayed for the peaceful repose of the soul of the late AIG Kanayo Uzuegbu and asked God to grant his family, colleagues, and loved ones the strength to bear the irreparable loss.

“His dedication to duty, professionalism, and commitment to national service will be remembered. May Almighty God grant his soul eternal rest and comfort all those he left behind,” Senator Kalu said.

AIG Kanayo Uzuegbu served as the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 9 Headquarters, Umuahia, overseeing policing activities across states within the zone until his death.
