Following the erection of a brothel near his palace, the traditional ruler of Amaokpala in Orumba North Local Government Area of Anambra State, His Royal Highness Igwe C. O. Okeke, has sent a distress call to Governor Willie Obiano and Commissioner of Police.
He sees the location of the hotel, which shares a perimeter fence with his palace, as desecration of the community’s traditional institution and an affront to his person.
Igwe Okeke alleged that the owner of the hotel deceived him by telling him the building was meant for students’ hostel only for him to use it as a brothel.
He said: “How proper is it for the palace of a traditional ruler to be surrounded at all times and invaded by sights and acts of crime and immorality, acts that are incompatible with our traditional ethos.
“My opposition and that of Amaokpala people hinge on the fact it disrespects and mocks the traditional institution of Amaokpala.”
