  By O'star Eze  The President-General of Enugwu-Agidi community, Hon. Ambassador Chukwuebuka David Onuorah, has urged all sons and daughters of the town living in cities and overseas to return home this Christmas. Speaking yesterday, Tuesday November 18, at his Country Home in Enugwu-Agidi, Onuorah said the community is now very safe because of the strong security system put in place. He assured everyone that vigilante groups, police, and modern security gadgets like CCTV cameras his administration installed, are working day and night to protect lives and property. “Come home and enjoy Christmas with your family and old friends.

  By O'star Eze  In a sit-down interview that breaks new ground in the town’s protracted leadership saga, Hon. Amb. Ebuka David Onuorah, President-General of Enugwu-Agidi since 2021, has for the first time publicly quantified the legal onslaught against him at 34 separate court cases, a figure previously whispered in beer parlours but never confirmed by the PG himself. Speaking from his verified business office in Abuja, Onuorah described the cases; ranging from terrorism allegations to vigilante petitions, as “orchestrated political weapons” deployed by entrenched interests threatened by his levy-collection overhaul and push for village-chairmen elections. “I have never been indicted in any legitimate court because the truth always prevails,” Onuorah declared, producing a certified true copy of a 2024 Federal High Court ruling dismissing a gun-running charge for lack of evidence. The explicit tally of 34 lawsuits marks the first time any party in the Enugwu-Agidi crisis has a...
