The Egbema Traditional Council Chiefs has announced the suspension of four chiefs.
The suspended chiefs; Andrew Gorroh, Johnson Sule Akpasibewei, Pastor Tlikiwei and Johnbull Adaun were suspended for summoning chiefs and elders of Egbema kingdom to face query.
In a letter signed by Secretary of the Council, Chief Joseph Owilly, the quartet were asked to stay clear from activities pertaining the kingdom with immediate effect.
The statement titled ‘Notification of Suspension From the Egbema Traditional Council of Chiefs,’ and made available to Daily Report Nigeria, read;
“The attention of the Egbema Traditional Council of Chiefs has been drawn to a letter written by the four of you. The purpose of the letter is to summon elders and chiefs over 80 years of age, who performed their traditional role conferred on us by our forefathers, ancient traditions and the Gazette to appear before you and other youths at Ajakurama on 23rd of October 2022 to answer query.
“Such utterances from the four of you are highly unacceptable. The elders and Chiefs of this kingdom will never surrender the kingdom to external forces whose aim is to ridicule our great kingdom before public glare.
“Consequently, the four of you are hereby suspended from Egbema Traditional Council of chiefs with immediate effect pending when you appear before the Traditional Council to explain your actions. This decision was taken in an emergency meeting of Council leadership for that purpose.
“Accordingly, you are to stay away from all matters pertaining to Egbema Traditional matters.”
The development is coming on the heels of an ongoing kingship tussle in the kingdom.
Daily Report recalls that Napoleon Egin (Esq) was elected Adagagba elect of Egbema on Monday, last week.
