Drag Me to Court if I Defamed You, Isuaniocha Ex-PG Tells Commissioner

The ongoing media war between a former president general in Isuaniocha, Comrade Tony Onyeagolu and the Commissioner for Homeland Affairs in Anambra State, Mr Chikodi Anarah may not end soon except the Soludo administration urgently intervenes on the matter.

This is because the former PG has stepped up the matter by daring the commissioner to take him to court if he feels that the claims he is making against him are false and mere allegations.

Onyeagolu and Anarah have for a long time been enmeshed in altercation, over who is the cause of the crisis in the community.

Isuaniocha, a town close to the capital territory has had it’s fair share of upheaval over landed property, and the leadership of the town union, a tussle that has also claimed lives.

In a latest update on the matter, Comrade Onyeagolu challenged the commissioner to tell the people what and why the security vehicle donated to Isuaniocha community by previous administration was impounded and up till date still at police custody.

The former PG wondered why the commissioner who had been reacting to allegations of land grabbing in Isuaniocha has not bothered to respond to the issue of the security vehicle which falls under his scope of duty to ask questions about the activities of local vigilante groups and what they do with the vehicles donated to them by government.

He said: “Again, why is the Commissioner for Homeland Affairs out to defend a group of people declared wanted by the Nigerian Police while castigating me the former PG whose name is not on the wanted list of any security agency in the country.

“ Why is he defending this set of people from Isuaniocha, why is he busy recommending them for security appointments to the Governor Chukwuma Soludo administration, who knows what their next plan of action would be?

”Mr Chikodi Anarah in his first interview about the crisis going on in Isuaniocha blatantly denied knowing anything that has happened or is happening in Isuaniocha, as he said that he is from Amanuke and possibly could not know what is happening elsewhere.

“In the subsequent interview the same Mr Chikodi Anarah all of a sudden started giving testimonies about Isuaniocha, defending Mr Cosmos Okonkwo, giving testimonies as to who was killed and how he was killed, there are more to it than what we heard from Mr Chikodi Anara, let him explain further,” Onyeagolu said.

He threatened to make public his conversation with the commissioner when he was pleading with him to work with Mr Cosmos Okonkwo so that they can sell the community secondary school land, an offer he rejected in the interest of the entire community.

“ I want to let Mr Chikodi Anarah to take me to court. I want to let him know that all the phone calls and conversations I had with him on the Isuaniocha school land is still intact, he should come out and tell the people and the governor the truth about the genesis of the crises in Isuaniocha, the entire conversations when he was telling me to compromise on the sale of the land is still in my phone and I can air it at anytime”

Anarah had in a previous response dismissed Onyeagolu, saying he has better job to concentrate on that argue with him. He also insisted that he had no stake in Isuaniocha, and did not come from there.
