<p>Explaining why he abandoned the business, he said his parents asked him to quit.</p>
<p>“But my parents, my mother, my father came and said I must stop, and I stopped,” he said.</p>
<p>Asked whether he sold weapons to people who intended to use them to kill others, Kalu dismissed the suggestion, insisting that his interest was making money.</p>
<p>&#8220;No, no, no, no, no, no. I was selling guns to make money, whether they blow up it’s not my business,” he said.</p>
<p>The interviewer subsequently asked whether he supplied weapons to the African National Congress during the struggle against apartheid in South Africa.</p>
<p>Kalu denied selling exclusively to the ANC, saying his customers included anyone willing to pay for the weapons.</p>
<p>“No, I was selling to anybody who wants to buy. If you have the money, you want to buy in D.R.C, I sell to you, you want to buy in Namibia, you want to buy…” he said.</p>
