In a tweet, the former minister wrote: “The clash between soldiers and members of ESN in Orlu, Imo State today has resulted in some deaths and this is unfortunate.

“I call for restraint on both sides. The soldiers ought to be deployed against killer herdsmen and not ESN. When will Buhari learn? Chidera Agu, please stay safe.
