Two communities of Anambra state, Umuchu community in Aguata Local Government and Umunze community in Orumba South Local Government are at daggers drawn over boundary demarcation.<\/p>\n

The two neighbouring communities of the state have been facing crisis over boundary demarcation for several years even after the Supreme Court have resolved the rift in a judgment in 1932.<\/p>\n

Mr Ralph Njirika, Chairman\u00a0of Umuchu Vigilante Group in Awka on Saturday appealed to the state and federal governments boundary demarcation Commissions to quickly and amicablly resolve the matter to save them from the age long crisis.<\/p>\n

He pleaded with the\u00a0 government to help the two communities conduct a peaceful boundary demarcation.<\/p>\n

While accusing Umunze community of delaying the boundary demarcation, he said that the matter which received judgement since 1932 would have been concluded before now.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are appealing to Anambra state and Federal Government boundary commissions to demarcate the boundary between the two communities in a peaceful demarcation.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the meeting we had in Awka on May 18, 2021 with the Deputy Governor, Dr\u00a0 Nkem Okeke, we went back to the site for boundary demarcation with surveyors representing the government, Umuchu and Umunze.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut due to the argument on some portion of land they are agitating to get, it couldn\u2019t work out so the deputy governor ordered everybody to go back to the site on June 3, 2021.<\/p>\n

“On June 3, 2021, we went back to the site and Umunze community continue arguing and until now the boundary line have not been achieved. There is insincerity and delay tactics on this job on the side of Umunze. There is a hidden agenda on the side of Umunze and Nzomiwe as a person.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy suggestion is to draw the attention of Anambra state governor, Chief Willie Obiano to tell him that this boundary has received a judgement at the supreme Court of Nigeria in 1932 and also the boundary committee during SBTC meeting held in Awka on Oct 11,2018, which they agreed to use the document to demarcate the boundary.<\/p>\n

\u201cI, Ralph Njirika, the chairman of vigilantes group in Umuchu is appealing to state government and Federal Government boundary demarcation commission to help us demarcate the boundary to save the lives of people from the two communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI appeal to the appropriate government agencies to urgently intervene to avoid escalation of this crisis and stop blood shading from the two communities.<\/p>\n

“This has been lingering since and being delayed for decades and we have 1932 judgement on how to demarcate the boundary\u201d, he said.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
