They warned land grabbers disguising themselves as estate developers to avoid their only remaining Umuedum land near the Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUTH).

Speaking with journalists after the protest, Mr Chilota Chukwu, a triple Chief in Amuri, said all the natives of Umuedum decided to inform the government and other people about what is happening regarding the land.
He appealed to the state and local governments to investigate the matter and prevent people from selling the land.

He added that some people want to cause problem but they have resolved that they do not want to cause problem hence their decision to inform the government and other people through the media.

Also speaking, Onyekachi Okafor Egbo called on the government to assist them and stop the land grabbers from selling the land, noting that the land is the only property left for them after a chunk of their land was collected by ESUTH during the administration of Chimaraoke Nnamani.
