House of Representatives Halts Land Development in Imo
The House of Representatives has ordered a cessation of construction and development activities on a disputed parcel of land in Imo State due to allegations of illegal acquisition and intimidation of villagers. This directive was issued during a hearing on Petition No. 901 of 2026, filed by J.U.
Okoye Chambers against Prince Charles Amadi, Chikadibia Anyanwu, and Chidubem Nwosu. The petition claims over 2,500 hectares of land were illegally acquired, with accusations of armed intimidation, attempted murder, and desecration of a corpse.
HRH Eze Lambert Unuoha, the traditional ruler of Nma 1 of Obioma Autonomous Community, was also named as a respondent. The committee, represented by Rep. Matthew Nwogu, instructed all parties to suspend activities on the land until the dispute is resolved.
The committee has contacted the Department of State Services and the police regarding the armed men, who denied supplying firearms. The committee aims to prevent further tensions while investigating the allegations.
