The traditional ruler of Amaokpala in Orumba North Local Government Area of Anambra State, His Royal Highness, Igwe C. Okeke has petitioned the State Governor, Willi Obiano and the Police Commissioner over the opening of a brothel close to his palace.
According to the traditional monarch, the erection which shares a perimeter fence with his palace, is not just an affront on his person and position but also a desecration of the community’s traditional institution.
Igwe Okeke stated that he was made to believe by the owner of the property that the building was a students’ hostel only for him to discover that the place was turned into a brothel upon completion.
“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 that it disrespects and mocks the traditional institution of Amaokpala,” Igwe Okeke said.
