World 1 source 1 country 🔦 Under-reported just now

The Anambra State Government has announced plans to arrest and prosecute individuals who parade themselves as traditional rulers without official recognition and certification. This directive targets those acting as monarchs in communities where they have not been formally authorized by the state authorities to hold such positions.

The government’s stance serves as a warning against the unauthorized assumption of traditional leadership roles. By mandating that all traditional rulers must possess valid state-issued certification, the administration aims to regulate traditional institutions and prevent the emergence of unrecognized figures claiming authority within local communities.
