Angry youths destroy Okorocha’s university fence

A group of unidentified angry villagers, said to be from Umuago,
Urualla, Ideato North local council area of Imo State, have attacked
and destroyed part of the proposed Imo European University, IEU.

The proposed tertiary institution was originally scheduled by the
Rochas Okorocha administration as the permanent site of Imo State
University, IMSU, but was later changed to IEU before its current
Eastern Palm University, EPU.
an indigene of the area said that "the state government acquired the
12-hectare piece of land when it planned to transfer IMSU to the
place."
The aggrieved citizen claimed that while communities in Ideato South
Local Government Area, whose land were also acquired had been duly
compensated, their counterparts in Urualla were subjected to high
level intimidation, harassment and oppression.
