Orji Kalu clears air in alleged link with CIA, intelligence agencies
Senator Kalu Denies Links to CIA and Mossad
Abia North Legislator Claims He is Not an Intelligence Agent
Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, who represents the Abia North Senatorial District, has addressed allegations regarding his purported connections to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). During an interview on Arise TV, Kalu asserted that he is not an intelligence agent.
Responding to inquiries about any affiliations with the CIA or Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad, Kalu acknowledged his previous involvement in arms trading, which he claims brought him into contact with both organizations. He stated that while they monitored his activities, he is not affiliated with them in any official capacity.
“Even if I know people there, I’m not working for them. I’m not an agent. Because I was trading in arms, I must know the two organizations very well. They were keeping an eye on me because I was selling arms,” Kalu said.
Kalu further emphasized that such allegations do not alter his identity or character. He referenced past remarks from notable figures, including former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who has referred to him as an “international agent.” Despite this, Kalu insisted that he remains true to himself and values the friendships he has cultivated.
“Anybody can say anything. Those things don’t remove anything from my skin because I know myself. I work hard to keep friendships,” he added.
Mossad, officially known as the Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations, serves as Israel’s national intelligence agency.
