Ningo Council Denies Land Sale to Igbo King
- Share:
The Ningo Traditional Council has strongly refuted claims that land in Old Ningo was sold to a man claiming to be an Igbo king for the creation of a kingdom.
In an official petition to the Ningo-Prampram MP, the Council dismissed the reports as baseless and disturbing, urging immediate government action.
“An emergency meeting was convened on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, to address the issue,” the Council said.
“Following discussions with our MP, who is also the Minister for Communication, Digital Technology, and Innovations, we agreed on key resolutions.”
The letter, signed by HRM Nene Osra Gbo Djangmah XII, Paramount Chief of Ningo, stressed that despite the community’s welcoming nature, no land had been sold to anyone posing as an Igbo king.
“The five clans with land along the Tema-Aflao Road have NOT sold any property to this individual for a kingdom,” the Council clarified.
They also reinforced Ningo’s traditional leadership, stating, “Our Paramountcy is governed by our Chief, and we will not accept another ruler on our land.”
The Council called on the Interior Minister to act swiftly: “We urge the Minister to lawfully summon and question this individual to verify his claims of land ownership.”
Warning of possible tensions, they emphasized cooperation between authorities: “The Minister must work with the Traditional Council to prevent actions that could spark public disorder,” noting that Ningo’s youth and chiefs are prepared to oppose any such attempts.
Furthermore, the Council asked the Ningo-Prampram District Chief Executive to block any building permits tied to the alleged Igbo kingdom.
While reaffirming their inclusivity, the Council insisted on respect for local governance: “We welcome people of diverse backgrounds, but no one has ever tried to establish a separate kingdom. All must abide by the Traditional Council’s authority.”
The petition ended with an appeal to the MP, trusting in his support for traditional leadership: “We are confident you will not allow such disrespect to our traditions and rely on your solidarity.”
