Indigenes of Isuaniocha in Awka North Local Government Area of Anambra State have appealed to Governor Chukwuma Soludo to intervene in the crisis rocking the community.
The people also called on the warring parties in the community to sheath their swords and come to the altar of peace for the overall development of the town.
They made the appeal through their President General, Mr. Paul Okoye, while speaking with journalists in Isuaniocha on Monday, on the need to resolve the crisis going on in the community.
According to Okoye, there were no serious problems in the community as portrayed in some sections of the media. However, the only issue is that a particular family, who feel that they are wealthy, decided to wage war with the rest of the people in the community for their own selfish interest.
“The problem in Isuaniocha is not as big as people are made to believe; the problem is that a small group of people that have been perpetrating a lot of crimes in Iisuaniocha, misusing the Nigerian police because they have money.
“They have been the problem we have, they killed somebody and instead of coming to plead with the people to forgive them, they are busy using the Nigerian police to harass the people because they have money.
“There is a tradition in this town, there is a way it can be settled, but they are dolling out money and threatening even the people they killed their relations. But I want everybody to come back, let’s reorganise Isuaniocha and let peace reign,” he said.
