Anambra: Soludo constitutes commission of inquiry into Aguleri, Umuoba Anam dispute

Anambra East Local Government, Anambra East, Anambra

On October 17, 2026, in Anambra East Local Government Area, Anambra State, Governor Prof Charles Soludo established a seven-man Commission of Inquiry to investigate the ongoing communal clash between Aguleri and Umuoba Anam communities. This decision follows the imposition of a dusk-to-dawn curfew by the state government, which remains in effect for both communities as tensions persist.

The communal dispute has led to significant unrest, prompting the government to take action to restore peace. The Commission of Inquiry aims to address the underlying issues contributing to the conflict. Officials have not disclosed specific numbers regarding casualties or injuries, but the curfew indicates a serious situation. The current status remains tense, with the government monitoring the situation closely as the inquiry begins its work.
