Governor of Anambra State, Prof Chukwuma Soludo has intervened decisively to restore law and order following recent reports of communal clash between Amaeze Aguleri and Umuoba Anam in Anambra East Local Government Area, which tragically resulted in loss of life and injuries.
The governor, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Christian Aburime expresses deep sadness over the casualty and injuries sustained during the clash, reiterating that violence, bloodletting, and destruction of property have no place in a peaceful and prosperous Anambra.
To address the root causes of this long-standing dispute and achieve a lasting resolution, the governor has convened an emergency peace and security meeting with key stakeholders from the affected communities to hold on Wednesday, October 5, 2026 at the Light House.
In the interim, the Governor has issued a stern directive ordering both communities to immediately cease all forms of hostilities, maintain absolute peace, and exercise restraint.
According to him, all grievances, claims, and presentations must be channeled exclusively through their designated stakeholders at the upcoming Awka meeting.
Furthermore, security agencies, including the Police have been fully deployed to the area to enforce law and order, safeguard lives, and prevent any further breach of the peace.
Soludo reassured all citizens of the State of his administration’s unwavering commitment to the protection of lives, property, and the peaceful resolution of communal disputes across the state.
