CRISIS is brewing in Abonnema Community, Akuku-Toru Local Government Area of Rivers State following the purported suspension of the monarch of the community, the Amayanabo of Abonnema, King Disrael Gbobo Bobmanuel, as the Chairman, Council of Chiefs by some chiefs led by former Minister of Aviation, Alabo Tonye Graham-Douglas. B. Ajumogobia for allegedly embarrassing the throne and people of Abonnema by their purported suspension of the monarch. B. Lulu-Briggs as Regent/Chairman Abonnema Council of Chiefs to oversee the affairs of the Abonnema Council of Chiefs until the issues surrounding the allegations were “fully and finally resolved”. But reacting to the alleged suspension of the monarch, the Abonnema Council of Chiefs held an emergency meeting at the Abonnema Town Hall last Wednesday where members dissociated themselves from the letter of suspension sent to the monarch and advertorials to that effect. B. Lulu-Briggs as the regent of Abonnema/Chairman of Abonnema Council of Chiefs is therefore intended to embarrass and ridicule the Abonnema Council of Chiefs and to cause crisis in Abonnema community, especially given his current condition,” the statement said.
