The Benin High Court has delivered judgement in a suit filed by the Edo Arts and Cultural Heritage Institute against the Eze Ndigbo group, who sought to establish and parade a traditional ruler in Edo State.
The case, which has lasted for over 10 years, was presided over by Honourable Justice A.N. Erhabor at the Civil Court, Sapele Road, Benin City.
Ruling on the case took place just as the Igbo “King” in Ghana, Eze Dr. Jude Chuckwudi Ihenetu, has stirred public outrage after a video surfaced showing him reportedly installing a new sub-chief in Dome Kwabenya.
In the video, the Igbo monarch was seen showering blessings and bestowing royal titles on his new subordinate, who later took his seat as the enstooled sub-chief Ghanaians on social media reacted sharply, with many describing the act as disrespectful to the nation’s chieftaincy system and a challenge to local chiefs.
In a video, the controversial chief was showering blessings and appellations on his supposed new subordinate.
After receiving his king’s blessings, the new chief took his throne.
According to reports, Eze Chuckwudi Ihenetu enstooled the new ruler as the Igbo sub-chief for Dome Kwabenya.
It’s unclear when the video was originally recorded, but it has resurfaced amid an ongoing debate in Ghana over the actions of the Igbo King.
Eze Jude Ihenetu stirred controversy in Ghana over his alleged plans to establish a kingdom in the country.
Despite repeated denials, he has been accused of attempting to violate Ghana’s sovereignty with his plans.
