The Anambra State Police Command has expressed serious concern over the reported breach of the agreed peace after the on-the-spot assessment led by the Commissioner of Police alongside the Military and other top government officials today 2nd October 2026 arising from the lingering misunderstanding between Aguleri and Umuoba Anam communities, following an alleged arson incident in the area.


The Command strongly condemns the resort to violence, destruction of property and other acts capable of undermining the prevailing peace and security in the affected communities.


The Commissioner of Police, Anambra State Command, CP Nnanna Oji Ama, psc, mnips, while reiterating the Command’s commitment to maintaining law and order, commended community leaders, government officials, security stakeholders and residents who have continued to adhere to the agreed peace resolution and refrain from actions capable of escalating the situation.


The Commissioner stressed that the peaceful resolution of disputes remains the most responsible path to sustainable peace and development, urging all parties to exercise restraint and allow ongoing engagements and lawful processes to address their grievances.


The Command has consequently emplaced strategic security measures in the affected areas and commenced efforts to identify and apprehend persons suspected to have violated the peace resolution or participated in the reported arson and other criminal acts.


CP Nnanna further warned that no individual or group would be allowed to take the law into their own hands, stressing that anyone found culpable after due investigation would be made to face the full weight of the law.


The Command also calls on traditional rulers, town union leaders, youth leaders, women’s groups and other stakeholders in both communities to continue to work with the Police and other security agencies in sustaining calm and preventing further escalation.


The Police reassures the people of Anambra State that the Command remains committed to the protection of lives and property and will continue to employ dialogue, intelligence-led policing and lawful enforcement measures to restore and sustain peace in the affected communities.
