Anambra Community battles Monarch over chieftaincy

The crisis in Nanka, Orumba North local government area of Anambra State, is yet to abate as Amakor Njikoka Development Union, has engaged the traditional ruler of the place, Igwe G O Ezeilo in a war of words.

Ilo and his group Thursday at the Marble Arch Hotel in Awka, while briefing reporters, said there was nothing like peace in Nanka. The Amakor Njikoka Development Union further said the bogus claim by the monarch was a clear misrepresentation of real facts on the ground and as such misleading.The people said the action of the monarch and his group in distorting facts and going against the constitution of Nanka by choosing the traditional prime minister from another area was capable of escalating the already charged atmosphere.

In his reaction, the monarch said the only group causing the trouble in Nanka was one family that served as an administrative ward out of the 23 operational wards which had been existing from time immemorial in the community.
