The people of Nnarambia, Mbiase, Imo State, have raised alarm over alleged plot to use security personnel to install new Bishop of Ahiara Catholic Diocese, Monsignor Peter Okpaleke, whose appointment as priest was rejected on the grounds that the appointee was not of their ethnic stock.

They are also canvassing dialogue as the rift between the Papacy and priests of Ahiara Catholic Diocese takes a dangerous dimension.

Although the people said at press time they had no concrete evidence to back the alleged engagement of security personnel for the installation, they, however, cautioned against adopting such a dangerous option.

"We have decided to speak out so that whosoever is contemplating such a dangerous action will understand the consequences and give it up," the people said in a statement signed by Chairman of the community, Aladinma Nnarambia, and three others.
