Anambra: Two Monarch lay claim to the Same Stool, Fight Dirty
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The traditional ruler of Nawfia town in Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State, His Royal Highness Igwe Chijioke Nwankwo, has said that he is the only legitimate and legally recognized traditional ruler of Nawfia ancient kingdom, ANAMBRA PEOPLE reports.

Igwe Nwankwo, who made the statement during an exclusive session with our correspondent in his palace at Nawfia, said that one Dan Obele who is currently parading himself as the traditional ruler of the town was doing so at his own peril because he is only pretending to be the monarch.

He said an Awka High Court ruling has given its verdict that the traditional stool of the town should return to status quo thereby reinstating him as the authentic and legally recognised traditional ruler of Nawfia community and that any other thing in the contrary would amount to contempt of court.

He furnished our correspondent with evidence of the court ruling where a court of competent jurisdiction declared that status quo be maintained as he said he was unjustly dethroned by the previous administration for no verifiable reasons.

Igwe Nwankwo, who made reference to the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria as amended, stated that it was an infringement on his fundamental rights to freedom of movement and association, for him to be forcefully removed from office because he and some other traditional rulers accompanied Prince Arthur Eze to Abuja to see President Muhammadu Buhari sometime last year.

He said he has all the rights and privileges as enshrined in the Constitution to visit any part of the country without taking permission from anyone or any person teleguiding his movements. Igwe Nwankwo said there were no clear-cut justifiable reasons he was compelled by the past administration to abdicate the throne of his forefathers.

Igwe Nwankwo said, “Let me say it categorically without a quantum of doubt that there has never been a change of power of Igwe Chijioke Nwankwo being removed from August 11th, 2021 when Obiano gave the suspension. A court process was initiated because of the illegality of the suspension and there were several injunctions given by court 2 of Awka High Court presided over by Justice Chukwudi Okah.

“As I speak to you now, till date no court anywhere in the whole federation has given a contrary order. The ruling of the court of June 21st, 2022 still subsists. Not even a stop of execution was given. There is absolutely no appeal anywhere in the whole federation. What they have filed is a permission to file an appeal because they ran out of time. Everything they have committed now is contempt of court.”
