HRM Dr. Ezeagwu ordered Mr. Isa and others involved in the menace to dismantle the camps they erected in Umunede farmlands, saying that he would no longer tolerate anyone that causes pain to his people.
He urged them to live the bush and pack into the town, saying that it is only animals that dwell in the bush.
In his words, “Isa, remove your cattle from Umunede land. I do not want any further complaints from my people about cattle destroying their crops. I am not pursuing you, but leave the farmlands alone and come inside the town to dwell. We cannot know what is happening when you live in the camp. Mr. Isa, vacate your cattle from Umunede land.”
Responding, the group thanked the monarch for his great wisdom, saying that they were grateful for his counsel.
Also speaking, the Chairman of Ogbe Obi Committee, Chief Amos O. Onyeagwu applauded the traditional ruler for his good leadership and pledged their continuous support for the growth and development of Umunede kingdom.
