Clashes: Chief Dan Okeke Urges Ohafia Youths To Sheath Their Sword

The APC candidate for House of Representatives, Arochukwu/Ohafia Federal Constituency, Chief Dan Okeke has appealed to the youths in Ohafia to sheath their sword as he has initiated efforts to restore lasting peace in the community.

This follows an incessant crisis between the community and the military which according to him has led to the loss of lives on both sides and the destruction of property.

While underlining that some level of provocation may have taken place which led to the crisis, High Chief Okeke in a release on Sunday expressed hope that all parties only desire peace, appealing that they should give peace a chance.

To this end, he said the root cause of the crisis must be tackled but urged all parties to give peace a chance for the good and benefit of the community.
