The Federal Government has approved over N840 billion for the rehabilitation of key road projects, including the 82-kilometer Section II of the Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano dual carriageway, which spans the Federal Capital Territory, Kaduna, and Kano States.
Tension is rising in Awka, the capital of Anambra State, following a clash between security operatives and leaders of the Ezinano community over a long-standing land dispute with the neighboring Umuzocha community.
One of the Ezinano community leaders stated that a potential violent confrontation was averted due to the swift intervention of the Anambra State Commissioner of Police, Obono Nnaghe Itam, who directed all parties to leave the scene to prevent bloodshed. An Ezinano resident expressed frustration, questioning why the Umuzocha community had involved the police to provide cover for their construction activities on the disputed property. According to him, when Ezinano members arrived on the land, they were ordered by the police to leave or face serious consequences, prompting one of them to urgently call on the Commissioner of Police for intervention.
