Protest and Allegations of Illegal Sales
During a peaceful protest at the disputed Okpuijikara land, community members warned that the situation threatens imminent violence and widespread hunger.

Igbojionu noted that these actions persist in defiance of an existing court order issued by Justice A.U. Kalu of the Abia State High Court, Umuahia, under suit number HU/163/2022. Furthermore, residents expressed deep concern that local school lands have also been targeted for unauthorized distribution.
Appeal to Governor Alex Otti
The community appealed directly to Governor Alex Otti to intervene and prevent bloodshed, emphasizing their commitment to using legal, peaceful, and judicial means to protect their heritage. Echoing these concerns, Mrs. Janeth Nwagboso stated that women are now too fearful to farm on the land, worsening local unemployment and hunger.
It is noteworthy that the Abia State government previously acknowledged receiving petitions regarding the land dispute on June 3, 2026, pledging to pursue an amicable resolution.
