After nine-years of waiting, the people of Ishienu Amofu autonomous community, Nkerefi, in Nkanu East Local Government Area of Enugu State have finally replaced their late monarch.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST recalls that the traditional ruler of the community, late His Royal Highness, Peter Onuoha was brutally murdered in 2013.<\/p>\n

There has been a leadership vacuum in the community, as the people struggled over the years to come to terms with the manner their monarch was killed.<\/p>\n

However, the jinx has finally been broken with the election of His Royal Highness, Chief Christian Ogbonnaya Agu (Eze Oha Chiri).<\/p>\n

He emerged during a peaceful election held over the weekend by the villages that make up the Ishienu Amofu community, in line with their constitution.<\/p>\n

The exercise was monitored by security operatives, including men of the Nigeria Police and the Civil Defense Corps.<\/p>\n

The community expressed their eagerness to present their duly elected Igwe to both the local and the state governments in accordance with the laws of Enugu State within the week.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Igwe-elect, Chief Agu pledged to work in line with the laws of the land and to serve the good people of Ishienu Amofu with diligence and the fear of God.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m committed to serving my people with due diligence, commitment and fear of God,\u201d he pledged.<\/p>\n
