Uprising looms in Aninri community as Sen Ngwu sends ₦15M to PG’s personal account

Senator Osita Ngwu may have set fire in Amagu community – unknowingly. One of the eighteen villages in Oduma in Aninri local government area, Amagu is an autonomous community. Its traditional ruler, HRH Igwe D.O Ohabuikem, an unassuming and complacent man, is satisfied to confine himself in his ceremonial roles.

So Amagu community is actively run by the President General. In 2024 the community stakeholders came together and “anointed” Comr Christian Onyeabor (a.ka. Udengene) and made him President General – unopposed and against the wish of many. He is the fourth PG, and the only one among them who understands not just how to abuse power, but also how to weaponize it.

On Thursday he paid a “courtesy visit” to Sen Osita Ngwu on behalf of the community, and returned with his bank account fattened with a ₦15 million-transfer from the senator.

That immediately raised eyebrows. For a man who received financial supports more than every other single leader in Amagu, Udengene has shown little interest for accountability and utter disdain to be questioned for that.

At the early stage of his administration, he recommended that number of culverts be put in place. He proposed also an administrative building. Thrilled by his sugar-coated rhetorics, the community billionaires donated nearly ₦100 million at the drop of a cap. He returned the policy of multiple taxes in the community, and has allegedly raised millions from the people’s sufferings.

Yet, the administrative building is not anywhere near a finishing stage despite massive, free manual labour from the women and the youths.

As he shared the “good news” of Sen Ngwu’s transfer in the community WhatsApp groups, Udengene said the money is earmarked for major bridges and culverts inside the community. Many of the proposed projects he listed are those which the subjects have already fully paid for. But who dares ask a question?

Why the President General received financial donations on behalf of the community through his personal or business account is another question. But again, who will ask? Amagu autonomous community has number of functional bank accounts, but they are rarely used under Udengene administration. The ₦15-million donation was received through SPIDER WEB EMPORIUM, Udengene’s business account, on “05-Feb-2026 10:54:43 AM”. The narration read, “Community Project for sen osita (sic)”.

Now, Amagu Concern Citizens, a rising pressure group within the community, is standing to ask those questions. Made up of young and rich youths, the group is a direct offshoot of the PG’s blind and draconian leadership. They are already in High Court with him as the PG continues, in vain, to whip up sentiments against their causes inside the community.

Already, they’ve taken the hearts of the people from the PG as their causes fully resonate with the people’s cravings, and as they’ve successfully labelled Udengene the community’s number one public enemy.

As the autonomous community sets to hold its Annual General Meeting scheduled March or April, violent clashes or possible bloodshed might be inevitable in the land where the majority have the feelings that their common glory is fast eroding due to actions of selfish leaders.
