Enugu State government has suspended Williams Ezugwu, the traditional ruler of Ibagwa Opi Ogbozalla autonomous community in Nsukka LGA, over alleged misconduct, according to a statement by the State Commissioner for Chieftaincy Affairs, Charles Egumgbe. Three traditional rulers and four president-generals from Ezeagu LGA were similarly suspended in July for the same reason.
The suspension was imposed due to "persistent conduct that is inconsistent with some sections of the Traditional Rulers Law of Enugu State," including failure to subscribe to the community's code of conduct, refusing to constitute a cabinet, and running the community single-handedly. Egumgbe stated that the monarch's actions could lead to an avoidable crisis, hence his immediate suspension.
