The suspended traditional ruler of Ihekwuenu-Aku Autonomous community in Igbo Etiti LGA of Enugu State, Igwe Christopher Okwor has been admitted to the Emergency Care Unit (ICU) of an undisclosed hospital.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Also admitted at the hospital was the wife of the traditional ruler, Mrs. Martina Okwor.<\/p>\n
One of the Igwe\u2019s daughters, Miss Kenechukwu Okwor, told journalists in Enugu on Monday, that this was coming barely 24 hours after her parents were released from the Force CID in Abuja, who invaded their Nsukka resident on Oct. 7.<\/p>\n
Kenechukwu alleged that her father\u2019s health had deteriorated because the police operatives denied him access to his medication and family doctor.<\/p>\n
She said that preliminary investigation by medical personnel showed that the Igwe complained of chest pain and had cracked ribs, while his wife sustained mild brain and neck injury.<\/p>\n
The traditional ruler, who was on admission at a private hospital, said that one lawyer, Mr. Nnamdi Ezemagu, accused him of cultism, kidnapping, possession of illegal firearms, and armed robbery.<\/p>\n
He said that the lawyer\u2019s petition led to the invasion of his palace by police operatives.<\/p>\n
