The Anambra Community appealed to the Government of President Muhammadu Buhari and Governor Willie Obiano to come to their aid, adding that the boundary issue if not resolved could cause wanton destruction of lives and property.
The people of Ibughubu Umuchu clan made the appeal in a statement by the Chairman of the Community’s Vigilante Group, Mr. Ralph Njirika and forwarded to DAILY POST on Friday. According to Njirika, “Our lives are in danger over this boundary matter. We will recall that in 1932, the Supreme court had ruled that the relevant government agencies, the National Boundary Commission should demarcate the land for peace and harmony to reign.
“Tensions and fear are everywhere in both communities, because of the land. Our people who are farming in the land are being molested by the neighbouring Ugwunano Umunze who is claiming ownership of the hectares of the land. The rainy season is on, the government should hear our age-long cry demanding relevant authority to settle the matter amicably.
“Ibughubu Umuchu community is known as a peaceful community. We do not want to engage in war. We have maintained that tempo. The National Boundary Commission should intervene in this matter as the farming season is almost around the corner”.
