The Anaofia-Etiti Welfare Association, representing the Anaofia-Etiti village in Enugwu-Agidi Community, Anambra State, has formally refuted recent statements made by it traditional ruler, Igwe Mike Okekeuche of Enugwu Agidi on the appointment of Chukwudi Tansi as a representative in the 20-man Vigilante Group of Enugwu-Agidi.
Contrary to the Igwe’s assertions that Tansi was nominated by the village, the Welfare Association, through a written rebuttal signed by Chairman Ozo Nonso Ifebunso and Secretary Mr. Chinedu Mmuo Ututu, declared the claims “false narrative.” According to the statement, Tansi was not appointed or endorsed by Anaofia-Etiti for the role in question.
The Statement reads:
“This is to inform the general public especially the good people of Enugwu-Agidi that Chukwudi Tansi was never at any given time nominated/appointed a representative of Anaofia-Etiti in the composition of the Enugwu-Agidi vigilante group.
“This notification became necessary following a false narrative by the Chief Press Secretary to Igwe Mike Okekeuche, Ichie Ifeanyi Ndulue on the 4th day of February 2025 that Anaofia-Etiti people “screened and nominated “Chukwudi Tansi” her representative in the twenty man vigilante group for Enugwu-Agidi.
“His appointment/nomination was solely done by Igwe Mike Okekeuche (Okpalariam III) without recourse to the good people of Anaofia-Etiti Enugwu-Agidi.”
Enugwu-Agidi Community in Anambra State has been in the news lately with the President-General of the community ,Ebuka Onuorah pointing accusing finger on the traditional ruler ,Igwe Mike Okekeuche of links with the arrested kidnap suspect.
This platform had reported the recent arrest of the suspect,Chukwudi Tansi who is said to be a member of the Enugwu-Agidi Community Vigilante.
The arrest of the suspected kidnapper by Soludo’s Agunechemba team has continued to generate crisis.
The recent letter by Anaofia-Etiti Welfare Association appears to be another indictment on the Igwe of Enugwu-Agidi Community, HRH Mike Okekeuche about his involvement in the whole issue.
