Awgbu Man Defends Agaba Masquerade’s Actions as Police Confirm Arrest An Awgbu indigene has defended the actions of the Agaba masquerade following a recent confrontation with Onowu Ugonabo, arguing that the incident was rooted in cultural disrespect. According to him, Ugonabo, who is also a traditionalist, should have known better than to challenge the Agaba masquerade, as it goes against the customs and traditions of their people. He questioned why some individuals respect cultural practices like the Eyo Festival in Lagos but return home to undermine their own traditions. “We are from the same place, so I expected him to know better,” he said. Meanwhile, the Anambra State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of the Agaba masquerade in connection with the incident, as investigations continue. #Awgbu #AnambraNews #CultureAndTradition #NigeriaNews

Anambra Government Declares Chieftaincy Title Conferred on Minister Bianca Ojukwu Fake The Anambra State government has disowned the chieftaincy title of ‘Anyanwu N’Awalu Ora’ reportedly given to Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Bianca Ojukwu, stating it was conferred by an impostor, Chief Austin C. Ndigwe, who is not a recognized traditional ruler in Awka or Anambra State. In a letter dated December 31, 2025, the Commissioner for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Community Affairs, TonyCollins Nwabunwanne, emphasized that official chieftaincy titles are conferred only by recognized traditional rulers following proper procedures. The government described Ojukwu’s social media announcement of the title as misleading and disrespectful to Anambra’s culture and the legitimate Eze Uzu II of Awka, HRH Gibson Nwabueze Nwosu. Residents were reassured that the government will uphold law, tradition, and culture, and Ojukwu was advised to desist from using the unrecognized title. : #AnambraState #BiancaOjukwu #ChieftaincyTitle #FakeTitle #TraditionalRulers #Awka #NigeriaNews #CultureAndTradition
