The International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety) has commended the Anambra State Government for intervening in the lingering dispute between the Onitsha Ozomagana Building Materials Market Association and the Modebe Family over ownership of a property in the state.
The human rights organisation said the intervention was timely, noting that the dispute, which resurfaced in November 2025, required a comprehensive and impartial resolution.
In letters dated Friday, July 24, 2026, and delivered the same day to the Secretary to the Anambra State Government, Mrs. Amaka Nnaka; the Attorney General of the State, Tobechukwu Nweke, SAN; and the Commissioner for Commerce, Mr. Nomso Ebonwu, Intersociety commended the government for stepping into the matter.
In a statement by its Chairman, Mr. Emeka Umeagbalasi, the group called for a thorough investigation and speedy conclusion of the intervention process initiated by the State Ministry of Commerce.
