COSMAS CHUKWU

Deeply concerned about the lingering crisis in Amechi Awkunanaw Community, Enugu South Local Government Area, the home of mercurial statesman and governor of old Anambra state, Sen Chief Jim Ifeanyichukwu Nwobodo, and its resultant implication on the peace and security of the community, the Enugu State government has cautioned all parties involved in the dispute to ensure that there is no breakdown of peace and order.

The warning was contained in a statement by the Commissioner for Information, Nnanyelugo Chidi Aroh, who stressed that the state government was greatly concerned about the unabated crisis and its effect on the peace and security of the community.

The state government consequently invited the Chairman of Enugu South LGA, Hon. Monday Eneh, and the Traditional Ruler of Amechi Awkunanaw Community, HRH Igwe Anthony Ogbodo Okorie, to an important meeting with the Commissioner for Chieftaincy Affairs, Dr. Charles O. C. Egumgbe on Tuesday, October 5, 2021, in his office at 10am prompt.
