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.

Vanguard gathered from an indigene of the
area 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.
