In a stunning twist of fate, Chief Olisa Igbonwa, previously believed to have been buried alive by his own kinsmen in Alor, Idemili South Local Government Area in 2022, made a dramatic reappearance last week at the Anambra State House of Assembly………CONTINUE READING

The unexpected turn of events unfolded when he confronted his elder brother, Chief Uzoma Igbonwa, within the assembly premises, triggering a significant commotion among lawmakers and assembly workers.

The encounter, which caught everyone off guard, prompted a member of the House to lock the complex’s gate to prevent outsiders from witnessing the unfolding confrontation.

Olisa Igbonwa, presumed dead after a ceremonial burial organized by his kinsmen, accused his elder brother of orchestrating the burial and concealing property documents belonging to their late father.

The confrontation, rooted in a longstanding family feud over inheritance and an alleged unsettled debt of $45,000 sent by Olisa to his brother during his stay in Switzerland, unfolded amidst a summon by the House committee on public petitions.

Adding to the complexity, the Alor community had been summoned to appear before the committee regarding a petition against the town’s traditional ruler, Igwe Mac Anthony Okonkwo, further entangling the Igweship crisis in Alor.

Caught off-guard by his brother’s sudden appearance, the elder Igbonwa found himself embroiled in allegations involving the prolonged leadership dispute in Alor, with accusations of exacerbating the crisis.

Amidst the chaos, Olisa’s brother claimed that Igwe Mac-Anthony Okonkwo had hired thugs to attack him at the assembly, where he had lodged a petition against the traditional ruler over the decade-long crisis.

Despite the tumult and serious accusations, the Anambra State House of Assembly dismissed the petition against Igwe Mac-Anthony Okonkwo, urging the community to desist from spreading unfounded rumors.

This extraordinary incident, marking Olisa Igbonwa’s first public appearance since his alleged ceremonial burial, underscores the deep-seated familial and communal tensions in Alor, magnified by the contentious issue of traditional rulership.

An indigene of the community remarked, “It was, therefore, not surprising that when the Igweship tussle reared its head in Alor, the two brothers supported opposing candidates.

“In September 2023, the same group of people, led by Olisa’s brother and his anointed President General, sent a letter to the Anambra State Attorney General, claiming that Igwe Mac-Anthony Okonkwo had been sacked by the courts and should not be allowed to perform the annual New Yam Festival of the town.

”It took a strongly worded letter from Dr. Onyechi Ikpeazu, SAN, Igwe Mac-Anthony’s lawyer, who promptly wrote the Anambra Attorney General to clear the air concerning the fictitious and deceptive petition.

“The Alor Peace and Reconciliation Committee, set up to mediate in the decade-long crisis in the community, indicted the Igbonwa-led group for rejecting the harmonized and consensus selection done in February 2022, which was supervised by the Anambra State Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, which was supposed to bring peace to the town.”
