Abia government kicks against planned coronation of Emir of Aba
Governor Okezie Ikpeazu’s administration has frowned at a plan to enthrone Sarki Shehu Bello II as the Emir of Aba without recourse to the government.
In a statement on Thursday, the government said its attention was drawn to the coronation plan and warned “all involved in this unauthorised and illegal coronation to stop forthwith or be prepared to face the full weight” of the law.
“Government hereby directs the immediate cancellation of the proposed illegal coronation as there is nothing like Aba Emirate Council in the state. The government further warned all residents in the state, especially those in Aba, to be law-abiding,” the Abia government explained.
The Ikpeazu government directed law enforcement agents to act fast to stop the event capable of breaching the peace of Aba and the state.
