The suspension of Greg Ituma, the traditional ruler of Ekpulato Mgbowo in Awgu LGA of Enugu state, has been announced by the Enugu government.
According to a statement issued on Saturday by Charles Egumgbe, Enugu commissioner for chieftaincy matters, the decision to suspend the traditional ruler was announced after a security meeting held on Friday.
According to the statement, the traditional ruler was suspended over allegations of his involvement in conduct harmful to the security of the state.
