ASABA—DELTA State Traditional Rulers Council has called on the state government to stop the creation of new kingdoms in the state and installation of unauthorized persons as traditional rulers without recourse to the law.
The monarchs, in their resolutions at their inaugural meeting in Asaba, also condemned the act in very strong terms, saying that the purported carving out of a kingdom from Akubene-mien, Bomadi Local Government Area of the state and installation of a king, was unacceptable, null and void and of no consequence.
Chairman of the Council and Obi of Owa Kingdom, Dr. Emmanuel Efeizomor II, who spoke to newsmen, insisted that the development was strange to the tradition and culture of the people of the state.
He blamed the situation on the mischievous and unbridled tendencies of some traditional rulers and politicians, who want to take advantage of their wealth and positions to cause trouble in other kingdoms.
To this end, he called on the state government to prevail on security agencies to immediately clamp down on persons involved in such acts to serve as deterrent to others.
Maintaining that if not checked such act could degenerate into full blown crisis in the affected communities, he urged government to act with dispatch to address the situation.
