Tension mounts in Anambra community over killing of traditional title holder
The incident has heightened tension in the community, particularly amid speculation linking the killing to a long-running controversy surrounding the traditional stool of Nri, which became vacant about eight years ago following the death of Eze Obidiegwu Onyeso of Nri.
The source also recalled an earlier attack on members of the Nri traditional society while they were holding a meeting at Agbadani village hall, saying some residents had linked the incident to the same controversy.
Arubaluezeama, who held the traditional title of Oba Muozuluaru, was reportedly shot dead at about 7pm on Tuesday at a building site in an estate around the WAEC office area in Nise, a neighbouring community to Nri.
