Do not identify yourself as Ziavi Paramount Chief or Queen – Volta Region House of Chiefs warns
The Volta Region House of Chiefs has advised factions in the Ziavi Traditional Area paramountcy dispute not to present themselves as the Ziavi Paramount Chief or Queen Mother.
The Volta Region House of Chiefs has cautioned individuals within the Ziavi Traditional Area over a dispute concerning the Ziavi Paramount Chief and Queen roles. As it seeks to resolve a case initiated by Emmanuel Kwasi Norgbe and three others against George Kofi Agbagha and others, the Judicial Committee of the House has issued this advisory.
The controversy stems from the installation of two figures from the Akpevi Clan of Ziavi Dzogbe as the Ziavi Paramount Chief and Queen, a move that contradicts the earlier installation of two others from the Tsadaviefe Clan in the same positions. This inconsistency prompted the issuance of an interlocutory injunction by Muhammed Ikililu, the Registrar of the Volta Regional House of Chiefs.
The injunction mandates that both parties, the Petitioners and Respondents, refrain from referring to any party or individual as the Ziavi Paramount Chief or Queen Mother until the case's resolution. Furthermore, it declares that Togbe Adza Kwadzo III will retain his position as the President of the Ziavi Traditional Council until a rightful occupant is installed.
The current Acting President, Togbe Adza Kwadzo Ili, who succeeded Togbe Kwaku Ayim I, is tasked with upholding traditional and administrative duties within the Ziavi Traditional Area until the dispute is settled.
