Ghanaian Outcry: Nigerian ‘Igbo King’ Land Purchase Sparks Alarm

ACCRA, GHANA – Calls are mounting in Ghana for authorities to immediately intervene and stop Dr. Chuckwudu Jude Ihenetu, a Nigerian national, from allegedly parading himself as the “king of the Igbo community” in Ghana. The uproar follows revelations that Dr. Ihenetu has reportedly acquired 50 acres of land with the intent to establish what he refers to as an “Igbo kingdom” within Ghanaian territory.

The acquisition of such a large parcel of land for the explicit purpose of building an “Igbo kingdom” has raised significant concerns among segments of the Ghanaian populace. Critics argue that the establishment of a sovereign-like entity or parallel traditional structure by a foreign national could potentially undermine Ghana’s sovereignty and existing traditional governance systems.

Ghanaians are urging relevant authorities to take swift action, asserting that the development could set a concerning precedent and challenge national cohesion. The specific nature of Dr. Ihenetu’s claims to kingship and the detailed plans for the proposed “kingdom” remain central to the growing controversy.
