Orji Kalu, the senator-elect for Abia north, has cried out, informing the public that his phone was stolen during the collection of the Certificate of Return at the International Conference Centre (ICC).

Mr Kalu and a host of other elected Senators were issued certificates of return by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) at the ICC, Abuja on Tuesday.

Lamenting the theft of his phone in a statement on Thursday, Mr Kalu said  “during the collection of certificates of Return at the International Conference Centre, Abuja, my cell phone with MTN and Glo lines was stolen by a yet-to-be-identified person(s).” 

A former governor of Abia State, Mr Kalu warned the public to “beware of any illicit activity involving my cell phone and numbers.” 

“My network providers have been duly informed. Please don’t hesitate to provide any useful information,” he added.
