Land tussle : Anglican and Catholic clergy men fight dirty.

It was a peaceful demonstration today as Clergy men of the Anglican Diocese on the Niger staged a protest to render their dissastisfaction over what they called manipulation and confiscation of Mission schools by the government of Anammbra State.

The protest which took off from Aroma Junction, Awka ended at the State Government House, along Enugu-Onitsha Expressway.

The clergymen on their full regalia urged the well meaning Nigerians and the masses to be judgemental on how the state government should confiscate Bishop Crowther Memeorial Primary School and the land at the back of Bassilica of the Most Holy Trinity, in Onitsha respectively, and handed same over to the Catholic community, even when Anglican were the owner of the controversial geographical space.

The case over this issue has been lingering for over 5 yrs, but the recent combat with the Catholic brethren and the intervention of the State Government ignited the misunderstanding within to go public.
