Monarch slams N30m suit on Enugu govt over unlawful removal

THE deposed traditional ruler of Amandim-Olo Autonomous community in Ezeagu Local Government Council of Enugu State, Igwe Harford Agana, has instituted a N30 million, challenging his unlawful removal from the throne by the state government.

With file number E/422/2014, the suit is at the Enugu State High Court.

The royal father, who listed the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Enugu State, Commissioner for Chieftaincy Affairs, Enugu and Mr. Emeka Nwankwo, as defendants in the suit, is claiming among other things, N20 million from the state government for the embarrassment caused him by the withdrawal of his recognition as the traditional ruler of his community.

He is also claiming N10 million damages against the 3rd defendant (Emeka Nwankwo) for “falsely parading himself” as the traditional ruler of the community to his detriment.

Igwe Agana, through his lawyers, asked the court to declare that the second defendant, Mr. Abugu “does not have the power under the provisions of the Traditional Rulers Law of Enugu State to suspend from office or withdraw the recognition of the plaintiff (Igwe Agana) as the traditional ruler of  Amadim-Olo community”.
