CLO director alleges threat to life By Chukwudi Achife Bureau Chief, Enugu The Director of the Civil Liberties Organisation (CLO) for the South East zone, Mr. Okechukwu Nwaguma, has accused an aide of a prominent traditional ruler in Enugu State of threatening his life. His sin is his move to prevent the traditional ruler from unlawfully dispossessing a widow, Mrs. Angelina Egbo, of two plots of land she inherited from her late husband. In a petition to the state Commissioner of Police, Nwaguma said the threat came from Mr. Callistus Nnamani believed to be a personal assistant to the traditional ruler of Nike. This followed an earlier petition where he alleged fraud against the traditional ruler in his dealings with Angelina’s land. According to him, the traditional ruler had fraudulently resold the plots of land that Angelina’s late husband, Linus Egbo, had bought from the traditional ruler’s late father. He said he received an anonymous phone call from a person who threatened to kill him “for daring to interfere in a land matter that did not concern me”. Before he could unravel the identity of the caller, one Mr. Arthur Aniagu, who is the son (a witness to the transaction between Mr. Egbo and the traditional ruler’s father) called to inform him that Mr. Nnamani had visited him in the company of six others and sharply rebuked him for reporting the matter to the police. Nnamani, according to the petition, accosted Aniagu’s mother and threatened to make sure that “she and her entire household are thrown out of their house at Ugbo Enyi Nike for daring to affront the Igwe of Nike”. “The CLO is not taking these threats lightly, hence our request for your urgent intervention. The CLO specifically requests you to order an investigation of Nnamani’s threats and conducts with a view to calling him to order and guaranteeing the safety of Aniagu, Mrs. Victoria Aniagu and her entire family as well as officials of the CLO Southeast,” the CLO director said.           Copyright� 2002.
