The leadership of Nsugbe community in Anambra the East Local Government Area of Anambra State, has appealed for peace as the community elects a new traditional ruler.
The appeal was made by the Chairman of the Caretaker Committee set up by the Anambra State Government, Mr Victor Attah, on Sunday.
Attah said the state government suspended the Nsugbe Town Union on August 24, 2026, over several allegations, and constituted a caretaker committee to restore peace and conduct the election in line with the wishes of the people.
He explained that the crisis arose after the traditional stool was zoned to Ivite village.
According to him, in response to agitations led by prominent politicians, the committee agreed to scrap the delegate system and adopt an all-inclusive process where every eligible person from Ivite would vote.
