There was a palpable tension in the Nawfia community in the Njikoka local government area of Anambra state as two traditional rulers lay claim to the stool.

The community is the place where the late wife of the former Biafra leader, late Ikemba Nnewi, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu hailed from.

Nwankwo was allegedly dethroned by the former administration of Willie Obiano, alongside 12 others for visiting former president Muhammadu Buhari with the oil magnate, Prince Arthur Eze without the consent of the government. The present face-off arose when on September 15, when Nwankwo celebrated the new yam festival, warning that the community should not adhere to any other directive not from him

“Every person in the community knows he’s a Regent and not Igwe since 2001 and the regency expired after 5 years.
