Enugu Assembly orders suspension of work on disputed lands
The Enugu State House of Assembly has ordered the immediate suspension of work on the land causing a dispute among Obeagu Awkunanaw, Ugwuaji, Ugwu Afor Akpugo, and Umuedenwaoko Akpugo.
The order is in a statement by the Special Committee on Land Disputes chairman, Pius Ezugwu, in Enugu on Monday.
Mr Ezugwu stated that the order became imperative to pave the way for all parties to work toward a peaceful resolution of the dispute.
He warned that engaging in any activity on the disputed land was an invitation to violence and war, which he said the committee would not tolerate.
Mr Ezugwu directed the police and other security agencies to arrest anyone found around the disputed lands or engaging in any form of work in the place.
He also directed traditional rulers, president-generals and developers in the affected communities to appear before the committee at the Assembly complex on Tuesday.
According to him, the crucial meeting is vital for a comprehensive discussion and resolution of the land dispute.
