Abia Government Warns Of Threat From Fake Monarchs Planning Assault On Arochukwu

The Abia State government has alleged that some individuals posing as traditional rulers in Arochukwu are plotting to disturb the town’s peace.

In a statement released by Okey Kanu, the Commissioner for Information, on Sunday, the government claimed that these alleged impostors plan to employ thugs and drug addicts to intimidate and harass the local residents under the pretense of a non-existent chieftaincy dispute.

The government has warned those involved in these plans and their alleged backers to cease their actions for their own benefit.

The statement included: “Security agencies are directed to maintain law and order in the community and to ensure that those disrupting the peace are held accountable. The Abia State government reaffirms its commitment to safeguarding the lives and property of all citizens and residents.”

The names of the alleged fake traditional rulers and their sponsors have not been disclosed by the state government.
