The Anambra State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of a man accused of killing his own relative following a heated land dispute in a local community.

Reports indicate that the argument over family land quickly escalated into violence, leading to the tragic death of the victim. The suspect was apprehended shortly after the incident by police officers and is now in custody as investigations continue.

The police have assured the public that justice will be served, stressing that land-related conflicts should never be resolved through violence. Community leaders have also called for peace and urged families to seek legal solutions rather than resorting to deadly confrontations.

This incident highlights the growing problem of land disputes in many parts of Anambra and across Nigeria, where disagreements over inheritance and property boundaries often lead to violent clashes.
