Enugu State Suspends Traditional Ruler Williams Ezugwu
The Enugu State government has suspended Williams Ezugwu, the traditional ruler of the Ibagwa Opi Ogbozalla autonomous community in Nsukka LGA, due to alleged misconduct. The announcement was made by Charles Egumgbe, the State Commissioner for Chieftaincy Affairs, through the ministry’s spokesman, Emeka Nebeife.
The suspension is effective immediately and follows accusations of Ezugwu's persistent conduct being inconsistent with the Traditional Rulers Law of Enugu State. Specific allegations include his failure to subscribe to the community’s code of conduct, not forming a cabinet to assist in community governance since its establishment, and neglecting to set up a town union executive, which has led to him managing community affairs unilaterally.
The statement emphasized that Ezugwu's actions could lead to an avoidable crisis within the community, prompting the suspension.
