So I discovered that this Aguleri and Anam problem has been going on via TikTok and Facebook for a while now.

I went down to their social media spaces to understand the problem and discovered that they have been at each other throats for a while now.

Aguleri has a long record of conflict with the communities on its border. It fought Umueri, also called Umuleri, over Otuocha in 1933, 1964, 1995 and 1999.

Umuoba Anam was drawn into that crisis, and on 1 October 2026 Amaeze Aguleri and Umuoba Anam clashed again.

A youth from Umueze Anam is confirmed dead, and property has been destroyed. Umueri, Umuoba Anam and Umueze Anam deserve peace, not another round of gunfire.

Land is settled by boundary and by court, not by force.

Anambra Government Shuts Down Otuocha Market After Five Die In Aguleri-Umuoba-Anam Dispute

By Emmanuel Okonkwo (ABS News)

Anambra State Government has directed the immediate suspension of economic and other activities at Otuocha company market following the escalation of the dispute between Aguleri and Umuoba-Anam communities which has allegedly claimed five lives.

The Deputy Governor of Anambra State, Dr Onyekachukwu Ibezim, gave the directive when he on the instruction of Governor Chukwuma Soludo, visited the area to ascertain the level of damage caused by the crisis.

During the visit, the ABS crew observed that several houses, shops, a rice processing factory containing numerous bags of rice, as well as other goods and property, had been burnt, while traders were seen fleeing the area with their remaining goods.

Deputy Governor Ibezim, who is also the Chairman of Anambra State Boundary Committee, warned that no activity is allowed in the market until the government completes necessary investigations and takes appropriate action against those responsible for the incident.

He cautioned that no community leader or local government chairman has the authority to determine boundaries between communities without the knowledge of the state government, stressing that the State Boundary Committee is responsible for the monumentation of boundaries within the state.

In separate interviews, the Traditional Ruler of Aguleri, Igwe Michael Idigo, and his Umuoba-Anam counterpart, Igwe George Ekwealor, explained that the crisis erupted when Aguleri people attempted to mount a signpost and security cameras in the market area, saying that their communities respectively lost three and two persons in the incident, while several others were hospitalised and valuable property destroyed.

The traditional rulers thanked the Anambra State Government for its swift intervention, which they said helped to prevent further casualties and destruction.

Deputy Governor Ibezim was accompanied to the scene of the incident by the Commissioner of Police, Mr Nnanna Oji; Deputy Chief of Staff to the Governor, Dr Vepor Egbuna; Special Assistant to the Governor on Boundary Matters, Mr Ekenechukwu Okoye, among others.

I know you are a die hard and unapologetic APC supporter. Good of you.

However, to me , this is just a drop inside the River Idumota. One of the problems we have is that our leaders though they hear our cry but are not ready or perhaps not creative enough to solve some of the problems.
I would have expected a people loving and oriented government in Lagos to :

1. Increase the fleet of the BRT buses massively. The period between when subsidy was removed and now would have been enough to do that.

2. Get these buses fuelled at designated stations specifically assigned for that at subsidized rates. Then, the government can point directly at something as being subsidized. You may wish to show me.what LASG can point to at this moment as being subsidized.

3. With the fuel at subsidized rates, set a fare that even a deaf and dumb can know is subsidized for all the routes.

Instead of getting 36 wareva buses for a population of over 20million residents.

Abeg, tell them at Alausa at the meeting on Monday.

Your humble but though ignorant servant.

You see, almost 50% of the danfo buses in Lagos have now converted to CNG, yet they have not reduced their fares.

They still charge the same price as buses running on petrol. The one I entered this evening charged me exactly the same fare as the petrol powered buses.
