‘It’s difficult to believe’ – Clark rules out mercenaries in soldiers’ killings

 Elder statesman and leader of the Ijaw Nation, Edwin Clark
says it is difficult to believe the recent killing of the slain soldiers in
Delta State was carried out by mercenaries.

This is even as he insisted that the leaders of the various
communities involved in the incident must be questioned, adding that nobody
should be treated as a sacred cow.

Clark, who had earlier described the incident as shocking,
barbaric and wicked, suggested that the military, along with the communities
should work together to fish out the people who committed the murder.

He made this known on Tuesday while fielding questions on
Arise Television’s News programme.

He said: “Well that is difficult to believe. I don’t think
we should expect this thing. Let’s look at ourselves. As I said, I spoke to the
Lt Col on Thursday and he went to the place on Thursday and died.
