Igbo Traditional Rulers Sacked In Lagos



According to reports, some Ezes (traditional rulers) have been sacked by the executive of Igbo-speaking community in Lagos. 

They were reportedly let go over a recent controversial visit to a governor, who allegedly gave them staff of offices.

According to a statement by the community’s President-General, Chief Ebere Ubani, the visit was "demeaning."

“With this singular action, the affected Ezes have abdicated their Ezeship and the Igbo-speaking community the authentic and legal body that installed them, hereby declares their stools vacant with immediate effect.

“The Igbo-speaking community in Lagos State shall look into issues dispassionately and will not relent in wielding the big stick where necessary; as such Ezes have lost moral authority to preside over their respective domains in Lagos State, as their allegiance has now shifted.”
