For lasting peace in Oruku Community, Nkanu East Local Government Area, the Enugu State Government has acceded to request of the indigenes of the community, by creating Aguikpa Oruku Autonomous Community, out of the existing Oruku Community.

In a public service announcement signed by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry Chieftaincy Matters, Dr. Mrs. Chinwe Anibeze, the traditional ruler of old Oruku Autonomous Community, HRH Igwe Dr. C.A Nomeh (JP) is now and should be addressed as the Traditional Ruler, Aguikpa Oruku Autonomous Community, while the old Oruku Community was directed to take immediate measures to elect a new traditional ruler.

Consequently, the Ministry of Rural Development, through the Permanent Secretary, Chuka Ezike, also announced the dissolution of the existing Town Union Executive of old Oruku Community and the constitution of Caretaker Committees for the two communities for a period of six (6) months, as follow:

Aguikpa Oruku Autonomous Community:

1. Chief Raphael Ani - Chairman

2. Chief Onwudiwe Ogbu - Secretary

3. Chief Godwin Inyaba - Treasurer

4. Chief John Ani - Member

5. Chief Longinus Inyaba - Member

Oruku Community:

1. Chief Emma Mba - Chairman

2. Mr. Ikenna Martin Nwatu - Secretary

3. Mrs. Clementina Omaba - Treasurer

4. Mr. Chikezie Nnamani - Member

5. Mr. Okechukwu Ukeh - Member

It would be recalled that the age-long inter-communal dispute between Oruku and Umuode communities in Nkanu East Local Government Area, was finally laid to rest a few weeks ago, after the leaders of the two communities signed agreement on land ownership and boundary delineation, at the Government House, Enugu, at the instance of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.

The two communities had disputed land ownership for over two decades (25 years), leading to persistent civil unrest despite interventions by past istrations.

The recent government decision was to sustain the lasting peace brokered between the two communities by the Enugu State government.

Enugu State is truly in the hands of God. #amokelouis

Great news. Now i can visit my friend's village without the fear of an attack.

But they will be shouting the love themselves.

Once the mumu of a man does not hand it over to the Fulani Herdsmen, we are all good.

You never hear him rush out to see the carnage caused by Fulani Herdsmen.

The same man will rush out to make sure that the same murdering Fulani Herdsmen are not evicted.

Ok

Creating Community inside another Community

Igbo land and secession

At least we understand fighting for another country

But fighting for another community ?

This one weak me

Not surprised.

Peace accord on paper. You cannot create autonomous communities on paper. Go and live there at your peril. The state govt cannot force people to move out of there ancestral homes.


There is no peace unless it comes from a negotiated settlement among the warring factions. You cannot just create communities like that.

Nothing has changed.
