Erosion,Sand Mining

Indigenes of Amakor village in Nanka, Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra State, have cried out over the devastating effect of erosion in their environment as a result of sand mining.

Leaders of the village under the aegis of Amakor Njikoka Development Union in a press release signed by the chairman and secretary, Mr Ilo Obinna Daniel and Mr. Patrick Okole, respectively, accused the traditional ruler and president general of Nanka community, Igwe Godwin Ezilo and Rev. Can. Ifeanyi Ezike of being behind the excavation of sand in the village.

The illegal sand miners then had uncontrolled accesses to the already devastated stream beach.' The community said their marginalization by the leaders of Nanka did not start today. They alleged that because of such marginalization, they have been stopped from producing the traditional prime minister of the community which was rightfully their turn.
