 Abia Monarch, Eze Ofoegbu, Suspended for Six Months Over Alleged Insubordination


Eze Nnamdi Ofoegbu, the traditional ruler of Umudiawa autonomous community in Umuahia North Local Government Area of Abia State, has been suspended for six months by the Abia State Council of Traditional Rulers for alleged insubordination.


The suspension was announced in a letter dated June 6, 2025, issued by the Council. On Saturday, the Chairman of the Abia State Council of Traditional Rulers, Eze Linus Nto Mbah, confirmed the development to journalists, clarifying that the suspension was not related to Eze Ofoegbu’s alleged support for President Bola Tinubu or Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, as speculated in some reports.


Mbah emphasized that the suspension stemmed from Eze Ofoegbu’s “consistent and flagrant disregard” for the Council’s instructions, particularly his involvement in running a parallel traditional rulers’ association. “The suspension letter is clear and does not suggest any connection to political affiliations. It is solely about his disrespect for the Council’s directives,” Mbah stated.


The Council had previously, in March 2025, disbanded all parallel traditional rulers’ associations in the state to streamline its operations. Mbah urged the people of Abia and the South-East to disregard any misleading reports regarding the suspension.


A media consultant to Eze Ofoegbu confirmed the suspension in response to inquiries from journalists on Saturday but indicated that a detailed response would be provided later.


The suspension highlights ongoing efforts by the Abia State Council of Traditional Rulers to enforce discipline and unity among traditional leaders in the state.
