The executive of Igbo-speaking community in Lagos State has sacked some Ezes over a recent controversial visit to a governor, who allegedly gave them staff of offices.
It said: “With this singular action, the affected Ezes have abdicated their Ezeship and the Igbo-speaking community the authentic and legal body that installed them, hereby declares their stools vacant with immediate effect.
“The Igbo-speaking community in Lagos State shall look into issues dispassionately and will not relent in wielding the big stick where necessary; as such Ezes have lost moral authority to preside over their respective domains in Lagos State, as their allegiance has now shifted.”

SHINESKYBABA: Something needs to be done about our traditional institution as regards giving them autonomy in order for them not to depend on peanuts from political office holders and influential people.The rate at which our respected Kings(Obas, Ezes and Emirs) disgrace themselves these days makes them lack the respect which they deserve from their people.
