There was tension in the Akpawfu Community in the Kanu East Local Area of Enugu State on Thursday as gunmen reportedly dislodged the residents of Ishiagu Akpawfu and Ajame Ameze autonomous communities after killing the Palace Secretary of Ajame.

They alleged that Igwe Nnamani and cabinet members had gone into a deal of policing the localities with the militia wing of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB, the Eastern Security Network, a deal he couldn’t manage well which later brought serious trouble between him, his close confidant in the community and the ESN.

Speaking to our correspondent on Thursday, Igwe Nnamani, dismissed the allegations, describing it as a case of “Kettle calling pot black”. He said, “What they told you is the opposite of what is going on in our communities. They are the ones killing people, kidnapping innocent natives, and making life unbearable for our people.

“You will get the correct information of how soldiers and policemen were able to trace these bunch of criminal elements to their hideout in the forest.
