 The Traditional Ruler of Azumini Ndoki Ancient Kingdom in Ukwa East LGA, Abia State, HRM Eze Edward Eule (Onyenweali X), has dismissed claims by some of his subjects that he abandoned his throne following his temporary absence from the community. This is as six suspects have been arrested by the police in connection with the stealing of the community’s electricity transformer, thus plunging the community into darkness. The monarch, who is currently in the U.S, explained that his trip was to attend to personal and professional matters, adding that he will soon return to Nigeria. "I travelled to the United States of America in May 2025 to attend to some professional and personal matters. I am robustly healthy and fine, and I may soon conclude the task of my sojourn here", he said. Prof. Eule accused individuals he described as "mischief-makers operating under the guise of an Interim Ruling Council" of peddling falsehoods and propaganda about his alleged abdication. ...

  Protesting youths chase Rivers LG boss from council secretariat


The Chairman of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria, Rivers State chapter, Allwell Ihunda, escaped death narrowly as protesting youths chased him along Moscow Road in Port Harcourt, the state capital, on Tuesday.


Ihunda, who is the outgoing Chairman of Port Harcourt City Local Government Area, was on his way to the council secretariat with some aides and security details when the incident occurred.


It was gathered that he had alighted from his vehicle and tried to make his way into the council but met a group of youths who occupied the entrance.


Almost immediately, the youth started shouting, chasing him, the youths tried to get hold of Ibunda, who raced towards his car.


But the security details attached to the Mayor, as he is fondly called, resisted the youths from getting hold of their principal, shooting into the air to disperse them.


Ihunda jumped into a black SUV vehicle, escorted by aides and zoomed off while the youths continued shooting into the air.


Two other vehicles, including a white van believed to be that of aides of the outgoing chairman, were spotted going after him, while the youths rained abuses at him.


Some of the youth were heard shouting, “That is him, Allwell. Chase him. Who is he? Look at him, Mayor is running. Chase him. Are you mad? God punish you.


“Don’t run, come, you will see pressure. We are not afraid of you. You are mad. Thunder will fire you.”


But some of his security details were seen trying to calm the youths who refused to listen to them, saying, ” Why is he running?”


Recall that the state ALGON had vowed not to vacate office after the expiration of their tenure on June 17.


The LG chairmen, who were elected under the administration of Nyesom Wike as governor, had cited the local government amendment law made by the Martin Amaewhule-led House of Assembly.


The law extends the tenure of the council chairmen by six months due to the failure of Governor Siminalayi Fubara to conduct local government elections.


The Amaewhule-led 27 lawmakers loyal to the FCT minister have been having a running battle with Fubara, due to the disagreement between him and his predecessor.


Fubara survived an attempt to impeach him last year, which worsened the political crisis in the state.


Fubara, in a state-wide broadcast on Tuesday, directed the heads of local government administration to take charge of council affairs from Wednesday, June 19, pending further directives.
