''the death of Edward Soje is the climax of the sufferings of the people of Kogi state which we have been crying about over the last one year. We cannot continue to face this suffering and be keeping quiet. I am happy with Hon. Karimi for his fearlessness and while we commend him, we pray that he does not lose steam in the days ahead'' he said.
