The leadership of Nimo Community in the Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State, has described a few individuals who protested against the monarch of the town,Igwe Max Ike Oliobi, and others at the Government House,Awka on Wednesday as hirelings of a few renegades of the area.
As a consequence, the Nimo Town Development Union (NTDU) has apologized to the state governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, for the embarrassment and inconveniences such a class of people must have caused him during the protest.
Nimo Town Union also enjoined the public to ignore whatever claims the dissident group may have signposted as their grievances, describing them as disgruntled elements who had milked the community’s commonwealth dry over the years.
