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 , to the National Assembly.
The communities lamented the gruesome murder of a police officer, Inspector Celestine Orodiovwe of the Force Criminal Investigation Department Annex, Enugu, in December 2021, who was investigating the land grabbing case they reported against “some hirelings of the PEIWA,” adding that between 2021 and 2022, the murder of Chidera Ogaba, Comrade Kelvin Ezeoha, Sunday Ngene of Obeagu, among others took place in same pattern, where hooded men were reportedly used to perpetrate the dastardly acts.
