Enugu State Suspends Amechi Awkunanaw Traditional Ruler by OEPHIUS(m): 4:14am On Oct 06, 2021
Enugu govt suspends Amechi Awkunanaw Traditional Ruler

The Enugu State government has withdrawn the Certificate of Recognition of Igwe Anthony Ogbodo Okorie as the Traditional Ruler of Amechi Awkunanaw Autonomous Community in Enugu South Local Government Area of the state, over the unfortunate breakdown of law and order in the community.

In a statement by the Commissioner for Chieftaincy Matters, Dr. Charles O. C. Egumgbe, the state government condemned the persistent crisis pervading Amechi Awkunanaw Community, and expressed dismay that “attempts at bringing peace to the community have been stone-walled”.

Dr. Egumgbe told suspended Igwe Okorie that law and order have indisputably broken down in his community leading to injuries to persons and property, stressing that “the situation if not checked may exacerbate the present security challenges in our land”.

The Commissioner pointed out that the actions and inactions of Okorie in the crisis were inconsistent with section 15 (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i) and (j) of the Traditional Rulers Law Cap 141, Revised Laws of Enugu State 2004.

“In consequence therefore, and pursuant to section 10 (a) and (b) of the Traditional Rulers Laws, Cap 141, Revised Laws of Enugu State 2004, the Government of Enugu State has suspended your recognition as the Igwe and Traditional Ruler of Amechi Awkunanaw Autonomous Community, Enugu South Local Government Area of Enugu State this Tuesday, October 5, 2021”, Dr. Egumgbe said, adding: “Take notice that your suspension shall subsist pending the conclusion of investigations and aftermath”.

If this will bring back peace to the community, then it's a good move.
Peace is priceless and terror is senseless, so let's give peace a chance.

The only person that needs his certificate of recognition or whatever withdrawn in Enugu state is the useless governor.

There's is famous saying in Igbo land that "igbo e'wen eze". That gives credence to their acephalous state wherein power is shared and not centralized by a single personality. But the intrusion of colonial imperialist made mockery of the established protocol, that's why today they have something similar to a centralized traditional institution in some places in Igbo land.

The people are not allowed to choose their king anymore. Whoever is in the good books of the Governor gets a certificate and the king is only answerable to the Governor and not the people. That’s why there is no respect for the kings anymore. They are mere errand boys for the Governor. The Governor will not dethrone them; only a mere Commissioner is saddled with that responsibility. Go figure! And if the Governor is having a bad day, he may elect to divide a town into autonomous communities and hand over certificates to his minions to be the kings.

“Igbo enwe Eze” and Ganduje removed Sanusi, a first class without stress, talk less of a small king. Igbos need to wake up and stop that yeye talk.

Though , investigation and arrest are been carried out by the Police as seen on the media.

He's a nice man, but you started seeing light after you moved out. "Evil Family".

Help me reconcile all this?
