The Enugu State House of Assembly has ordered the immediate suspension of work on the land in dispute among Obeagu Awkunanaw, Ugwuaji, Ugwu Afor Akpugo, and Umuedenwaoko Akpugo.
The order Is contained in a statement issued by the Chairman, Special Committee on Land Disputes, Mr Pius Ezugwu, and made available to newsmen in Enugu on Monday.
