 BOUNDARY DISPUTE BETWEEN IKENGA AND ISIOKWE VILLAGES: CP ORUTUGU INVITES PARTIES, EXPLORES ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION TO THE CASE, SEEKS COOPERATION TO IDENTIFY THE SUSPECTS INVOLVED TO ENSURE THAT JUSTICE IS SERVED


Following the boundary dispute between Ikenga and Isiokwe villages in Umueri and Aguleri respectively that led to the murder of one and the destruction of properties in the area on 16th March 2025, the Commissioner of Police CP Ikioye Orutugu fwc MNIPS PhD, has interviewed parties involved in his Office at Awka today 18th March 2025. The CP is seeking to explore Alternative Dispute Resolutions (ADR) to the case and seeks the 

cooperation of the communities to identify the suspects involved and to ensure that justice is served.


The CP noted that the approach has become necessary not only to resolve the boundary dispute between the Ikenga and Isiokwe villages, but also to promote a culture of peace and reconciliation in the larger Umueri and Aguleri Communities. 


In their response, both Communities agreed to work together, especially to discuss their differences on Government interventions so far and partner with relevant stakeholders to work out modalities to ensure lasting peace, especially on boundaries. 


The CP while condoling the family and friends of the deceased urged the parties to set up a Committee to visit the bereaved and also assuage the victims that their properties were destroyed. He further directs each Community to request/appeal to the Government's decision over the boundary adjustment whenever in doubt. To this effect, the CP believes that this platform shall provide the parties with the proceedings to resolve their differences amicably, without resorting to unnecessary and cumbersome litigation processes.


In attendance include: His Royal Majesty HRM Igwe Sir Benneth Izuchukwu Emeka JP (Okebo II of Umueri), HRH Ezeudo Aguleri Dr Michael Idigo, Chairman of Anambra East Local Government, Sir Chinweze Ifeanyi, the President's General of the 2 communities , AMB John Metchie and Mr Iloakasia Ifeanyi and other stakeholders of the communities.
