Amachara Community denies involvement in invasion of neighbouring Okaiuga Nkwoegwu

Following the claim made by the leadership of Okaiuga Nkwoeguwu community regarding the invasion and destruction of property at Okaiuga Nkwoeguwu Community Secondary School, umunenweze allegedly by their neighbouring Amachara community, the Amachara Welfare Association has distanced the community from such act.

In a statement jointly endorsed this Friday by the President of the group, Pastor Amarachukwu F. Uchendu and Secretary, Elder Ekeledo Obioma, the Amachara community described the invasion story credited to the President General Okaiuga Nkwoegwu Improvement Union as false as there was no time the Community thought of such, nonetheless to execute the same.

According to the statement, “the developer mentioned in the write-up is known by the Umunemeze people and on the side of Amachara,the developer is dealing directly with the owners of the lands of Okpuruojikara which is the ancestral land of Amachara Community.”

The statement described Amachara people as peaceful and law abiding and made it clear that the people are not ready to be dragged into any communal dispute with the Okaiuga people.

The people of Amachara therefore disassociated themselves from the acclaimed vandalism of the Okaiuga Nkwoegwu Community Secondary
School properties which according to them “has been in ruins for years as a result of
the relocation of the school to Nkwoegwu Central School”.

Recall the President General of Okaiuga Nkwoegwu Community improvement union, Ohuhu, Umuahia North Local Government Area, Sir Uzomba Ekwuruibe had on Thursday raised an alarm claiming that their Amachara neighbours in Umuahia South local government area of Abia State had in collaboration with a private developer invaded the secondary school in the community, destroying properties.
