No More Autonomous Communities in Anambra State
Governor Charles Soludo has declared that autonomous communities in Anambra state no longer exist, following what he described as a final resolution of a long-standing legal battle that had moved from the Court of Appeal to the Supreme Court.
The statement surfaced in a video clip shared online by Izuchukwu Adichie, where the governor addressed the issue of community autonomy in Anambra state.
In the video, Soludo is saying that the Supreme Court judgment has effectively settled the matter, describing it as having “buried” the issue of autonomous communities in Anambra State.
According to him, the ruling puts an end to years of disputes surrounding the recognition and status of autonomous communities across the state.
However, details of the specific Supreme Court judgment referenced in the statement were not immediately made clear in the clip, and official court documentation confirming the dissolution of autonomous communities in Anambra State has not been independently verified at the time of this report.
