Soludo Initiates Peace Meeting to Resolve Anambra Crisis

Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, the Governor of Anambra State, convened a high-level stakeholders’ peace meeting at the Light House in Awka to address the ongoing crisis between the Umuoba Anam and Aguleri communities in Anambra East Local Government Area. This crisis has led to loss of lives, injuries, and significant property destruction, including the burning of the traditional ruler's palace.

Christian Aburime, Soludo’s Chief Press Secretary, reported that traditional rulers and community leaders attended the summit, where Soludo condemned the violence and directed security agencies to ensure a strong presence in the affected areas. Community leaders condemned the hostilities and called for an immediate ceasefire and justice.

A Judicial Commission of Inquiry was established to investigate grievances and submit a report within four months. The meeting concluded with a commitment to peace and the state's assistance in rebuilding the destroyed palace.
