BARRISTER NAPOLEON OTACHE CELEBRATES EASTER WITH AGATU PEOPLE, PREACHES FORGIVENESS, PEACE, AND UNITY AMONG ALL AGATU COMMUNITIES
Sunday, 20th APRIL, 2025
The Executive Chairman-elect of Agatu Local Government Council, Barrister Napoleon Otache, celebrated Easter with the people of Agatu Local Government Area. During the Easter celebration, the Council Chairman-elect preached forgiveness as a foundation for love, peace, and unity.
The so-called reconciliation initiative between Fulani herdsmen and Apa/Agatu communities, championed by Agatu LGA Chairman James Melvin Ejeh under Governor Hyacinth Alia’s directive, has spectacularly failed. Instead of fostering peace, it has accelerated an outright occupation. The supposed conditions for resettlement—unarmed return, designated grazing areas, and a phased process—were disregarded from the start. Now, Apa is under siege, its villages reduced to ghost towns while the Fulani move in without restraint.
