Anambra community shuns traditional ruler-designate, crowns another

Crisis may erupt in Awkuzu, a community in Oyi Local Government Area of Anambra State over the controversy surrounding the emergence of a traditional ruler of the community, Vanguard newspaper reported.

Chibuike Okafor, on Monday, was crowned as the new traditional ruler of the community.

Mr Okafor’s coronation came about four years after Charles Anikweze was issued with a certificate of recognition by former Governor of the state, Willie Obiano, on 2 May 2019, as the traditional ruler of the community.
