Summon “Self-proclaimed” Igbos King over Intended Igbo Village – Ningo Prampram Chief to National Security Minister

The Ningo Prampram Traditional Council has urged the Minister for National Security, Muntaka Mubarak, to summon the “self-proclaimed” Igbos King in Ningo Prampram over the latter’s intention to establish an Igbo village there.

It foresees potential public unrest if the intended project carries on.

This was communicated in a statement by the Paramount Chief of the Ningo Traditional Area and President of the Ningo Traditional Council, Nene Osoroagbo Djangmah XII after a Council meeting on Tuesday.

“That the Minister for Interior who doubles as Minister responsible for National Security takes immediate steps to use all lawful means at his disposal to invite and interrogate the said individual to ascertain the exact facts about his purported land acquisition.”

The traditional ruler affirmed that he did not intend to have a ruler domiciled on his land, adding that the five clans who own land along the Tema-Aflao Road in the general Old Ningo area have not sold any land to the said Igbo King to develop a Kingdom.

The Council also urged the District Chief Executive of the Ningo-Prampram District Assembly and the Member of Parliament to respectively ensure a building permit is not issued for construction of the said Kingdom and that the matter receives urgent attention at the highest levels of government to protect his ancestral home.

It further reiterated its commitment to hospitality, adding that it hosts persons from over twenty different nationalities who have resettled in their private capacities.

“None of them has tried to establish a Kingdom or any such community. Our guests have always subjected themselves to the authority of the Traditional Council and that remains a critical requirement for the enjoyment of our warm hospitality.”
