Ex-Amichi Leader Cletus Udebuani Faces Life Threats

Chief Cletus Udebuani, the former President General of Amichi Community in the Nnewi South Local Government Area of Anambra State, has raised concerns about threats to his life linked to his development initiatives while in office. In a letter addressed to President Bola Tinubu, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Inspector General of Police Olatunji Disu, Anambra State Governor Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, and others, Udebuani called for urgent intervention regarding the escalating security threats he faces.

He accused certain individuals of orchestrating these threats and claimed they boasted about harming him as they had done to others. Udebuani's tenure ended in August 2026, during which he faced significant challenges, including opposition from those wanting to divert community development projects for personal gain.

Following his tenure, a caretaker committee was appointed by the Anambra State Government to manage the community until elections could be held. Udebuani emphasized the support he received from local authorities during his development projects, particularly the construction of new plazas at Amichi New Market.
