Leaders of Umuoba Anam under the aegis of Federated Association of Umuoba Anam Council, have petitioned Governor Chukwuma Soludo to restrain Aguleri youths and people from further attacks and encroachment on their fish ponds and farmlands at Omagu Umuoji near Egbeagu Eziagulu Otu Aguleri in Anambra East Local Government Area of Anambra State.
The petition dated January 31, 2025 and jointly signed by Chief S.N. Okoye and Comrade C. Mmehie, Chairman and Secretary respectively, accused their neighbors of using false claims to unleash violence and war over its property at Omagu farm settlement.
The petitioners also dismissed claims made by the Eziagulu-Otu Town Union, on the 28th January 2025, as false and a calculated attempt to divert attention from their acts of aggression against the people of Umuoji, Umuoba Anam following a confrontation over their illegal fishing activities on the Umuoji fish ponds at Omagu.
