intractable crisis rocking Obeagu and Amechi-Uwani Awkunanaw communities takes a new dimension.
The intractable crisis rocking Obeagu and Amechi-Uwani Awkunanaw communities over the disputed Enugu Golf and Lifestyle city, otherwise known as Centenary city in Enugu South local government area, has taken a new dimension.
This time, the communities, irked by what they called endless killings and incarceration of youths from the affected areas, have dragged the Enugu State government, two senior officers of Enugu State police command and the developers of the estate, Private Estates International West Africa limited (PEIWA), to the National Assembly.
In separate appeals to the House of Representatives Committee on Public Petitions, the two communities drew the attention of the National Assembly to the ordeal they were facing.
They made an urgent plea for the House to use its oversight function in resolving the cases of senseless killings, ensure prosecution on investigations made by the police in the killings of youths and incarceration of others in various police and correctional facilities across the country over the land crisis in both communities, for the interest of justice, law and order.
The two communities had at different times petitioned the Police Service Commission and the Enugu State police command on the excesses of two senior police officers, alleging that they compromised their positions by completely working for PEIWA and assisting the company to harass, arrest, intimidate and take over their land in clear negation of the operation of the Nigeria Police.
