...Elders, Stakeholders Call For FG Intervention to Avert Impending Bloodshed  Ishiegu Owo Community in Nkanu East Local Government Area of Enugu State engulfed in fear, anguish, and uncertainty as residents raise alarm over what they describe as an orchestrated attempt to dispossess them of their ancestral land, an action they warn could spiral into a deadly crisis if urgent intervention does not come from the Federal Government. At the heart of the controversy is an alleged and widely disputed claim that about 500 hectares of Ishiegu Owo communal land was donated to the Enugu State Government for an agro-processing project by HRH Igwe Okeke Arum, the Traditional Ruler of Mbulu Owo Community.
