In a press statement by the Etuboms Traditional Rulers Council of the
Palace of Obong of Calabar signed by His Highness B .O., B Duke made
available to Vanguard, the Obong said the letter sent to the Eze Igbo
giving him seven days to leave Calabar is an attempt to incite the public
and lead to the breakdown of law and order.
‘Our attention has been drawn to a letter credited to a group, Nka
Ikemesit Mkparawa Essien Efik Duoeba giving an individual- Eze Igbo
seven days to leave Calabar if he does not apologise for ‘ insulting the
Obong’ during the visit of a dignitary to him”.
The Obong stated that he “frowns seriously at the attempt by some
persons to use social media to misquote, politicise and incite the public
over this matter and according called for restraint
He admonished all neighbours and non-indigenes who have lived in the
state to continue to live in peace and avoid provocative actions.
He warned against the use of social media to create actions that can
lead to the break down of law and order in the city.
