JUST IN: Abia State government cancels ‘Emir of Aba’ Coronation

The Abia State Government has cancelled the planned installation of ‘Sarki Shehu Bello 11’ as the Emir of Aba Emirate Council.

This development was contained in a statement by the Secretary to the State Government, Barr. Chris Ezem.

According to the statement, the government does not recognise the existence of an Aba Emirate Council in the state, and has deemed the proposed installation as unauthorised and illegal. It also warned all individuals involved in this event to stop immediately or face legal consequences.

“The attention of the Government of Abia State has been drawn to a proposed coronation of one Sarki Shehu Bello 11 as the Emir of Aba Emirate Council without recourse to Government.

“Government wishes to warn all involved in this unauthorized and illegal coronation to stop forthwith or be prepared to face the full weight of the law.

“Government hereby directs the immediate cancellation of the proposed illegal coronation as there is nothing like Aba Emirate Council in the State.

“Government further warns all residents in the state especially those residents in Aba to be law-abiding. “Law enforcement agents have been directed to swing into action and ensure that no such event capable of breaching the existing peace in the state takes place in Aba or any part of the State.”
