Ebonyi Governor Francis Nwifuru sacks all appointees and dethrones traditional rulers from Amasiri community in a decisive response to a deadly land dispute with neighbors.

Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru has unleashed a ruthless administrative purge, sacking all political appointees and dethroning traditional rulers from the Amasiri community following a bloody land dispute that claimed four lives.
The Governor’s "sledgehammer" approach comes in the wake of violent clashes between Amasiri and the neighboring Okporojo village in Edda Local Government Area. The conflict, fueled by a long-standing boundary tussle, erupted into chaos, leading to the destruction of property and the loss of lives.
Visiting the affected Okporojo community, a visibly angry Nwifuru declared that his government could no longer tolerate the "complicity of silence" from Amasiri’s leadership. He accused the community’s elite of failing to rein in the violence.
"I am not against the Amasiri people, but I am against the bloodshed," Nwifuru stated. "They must have a change of heart." The Governor assured the victims in Okporojo that justice would be served and perpetrators prosecuted.
The draconian measures send a chilling warning across the state: in Nwifuru’s Ebonyi, communal violence will now carry a heavy political price for local leaders who fail to keep the peace.
