The People of Isuaniocha Community in Awka North Local Government area of Anambra State have resolved to embrace peace for overall development of the area.
They dissolved all youth activities in the town as well as collection of levies in various forests in the area.
The community’s decision taken during a general meeting involving elders, women, youths and other stakeholders followed five years old crisis that led to destruction of lives and property in the area.
They also instituted a Peace Committee comprising Chairmen and Secretaries of all villages, Women leaders and other notable persons nominated by elders and Ozor in Council with the mandate of speaking with parties involved in the crisis to be followed with recommendations aimed at ensuring lasting peace in the area.
Addressing newsmen shortly after the meeting, Chairman Umelem village, Chief Danatus Anyaegbunem said there was no reason for such crisis that would warrant people fleeing the town, revealing that the entire community was from one parent.
