Abia govt denies illegal coronation, says there’s no emirate council
Abia State Government has denied knowledge of a proposed coronation of one Sarki Shehu Bello 11 as the Emir of Aba Emirate Council.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Barr. Chris Ezem, on Wednesday.
The government said it has ordered immediate cancellation of the proposed illegal coronation, insisting there was nothing like Aba Emirate Council in the state.
According to the statement, the Government in the State has not authorized any illegal coronation, warning individuals involved to desist forthwith or be ready to face the full weight of the law.
The statement partly read: “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 resident 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.”
