Protest Against Obeagu-Ugwuaji Igwe Was Sponsored, Not Genuine – Caretaker Chairman
The Caretaker Committee Chairman of Obeagu-Ugwuaji, Hon. Okuwudili Joseph, says the recent women’s protest accusing the Igwe of ‘hunting’ husbands was staged by outsiders. He insists about 80 percent of the demonstrators were hired and do not belong to the community. Joseph and the community’s lawyer, Barr. Idam, accuse loyalists of the dissolved former President General of orchestrating the rally to distract from alleged illegal land sales and forgery. They reject claims that the traditional ruler misappropriated ₦400 million, explaining all community funds require multiple signatories. The pair cite court rulings that upheld the caretaker committee’s appointment and restrained the former leadership from interfering. They challenge critics to produce proof of embezzlement and say any arrest orders followed due process, not directives from the Igwe.
