He emphasized that Anambra strictly operates under the traditional rulers' law, warning that anyone who is guilty of carrying themselves as traditional rulers when they are not recognized by the state is sanctionable under the law with a minimum of six months imprisonment.


The Commissioner for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Community Affairs, Mr. Tony-Collins Nawbunwanne pointed out that before now, there were lots of crisis in many communities in the state that range  from 20 to 30 years.


He noted that the Soludo administration does not compromise public interest for anything and gives fair hearing to all in line with the various constitutions in the communities while emphasizing that the new traditional rulers passed through the process at the community, town union and state levels, as they were subjected for clearance by security agencies.
