Aku and Ikolo communities in Igboetiti local government council in Enugu State are now under heavy police occupation following a clashthat erupted on Thursday between the two communities that left several injuries and property worth millions of naira destroyed. It was gathered that the two neighboring communities had been at loggerheads for some time now over boundary, a development that had defied intervention of leaders of the areas. We decided to put up that letter because of frequent attacks on our people around the boundary areas. But we cannot continue this way and that is why I am appealing to the state government to please do something about this boundary issue. A statement by the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Ebere Amaraizu, which confirmed destruction of property and injuries on both communities, urged the warring communities to maintain peace and not to take laws into their hands.
