The Palace of Eze Udo Igbo Ghana has refuted malicious online publications  targeted at Eze Ndigbo  Ghana, HRM Eze Dr Jude Ihenetu  where it was alleged  that he was involved  in the arrest of some Igbo men who were allegedly holding IPOB meeting  in Ghana.

In a statement signed  by Media/Project  Director, Obi Eziokwu Igbo Palace, Ghana, Rev.Tony Chinoyerem White, it says  enemies  of the palace were behind  the misinformation.

In a press statement  entitled, Re: Spurious, Malicious and Unverifiable  claims made by one Comrade Alfred and Sunny on Facebook, it says: Though Many comments  have gone on the issue of the false information  put in facebook  by one Comrade  Alfred and Sunny aimed at tarnishing  the good name and image of Eze Ndigbo  Ghana, on behalf of His Majesty, Eze Dr. Amb. Chukwudi Jude  Ihenetu, we categorically  debunk such statements  as having no iota of truth but rather see it as divisive plan to refocused us from our programmes to continually  uplift the Igbo agenda in Ghana  with the core value of promoting  Igbo values and culture  as a recognised traditional  ruler.

“for the last  nine years  as Eze Ndigbo  Ghana, Eze Ohazurume has strove to strengthen the relationship  between  the Igbo and our host country Ghana and at the same time to defend  every  Igbo man in all sector in Ghana.

“Recently Eze Chukwudi  Ihenetu’s Intervention  led to the release  of 541 Nigerians, mostly Igbo. They were fed and given money  for transportation  back home.

“He has travelled  to many regions  here in Ghana to bring our people more especially  the Igbo closer to their host country, Ghana all at his personal expense.

“It is on record that he played  a vital role in ending over 25 years trade disputes  between  Nigerian traders  and Ghana Trade Union. If he went this length to help his people, the Igbo, how will he be the same person  initiating their arrest?”

The statement  further said: We strongly dismissed  this allegations  as false. The enemies of His Majesty and Ndigbo  Ghana are the ones  spreading  this rumour to smear his name and cause misunderstanding  between him and the good people  of Igbo community  in Ghana.

“We state unequivocally  that their evil plans would not work because Eze Ihenetu  is standing  for the Igbo  and  Nigeria  and to forge a peaceful union between Nigeria and  Ghana.

“Finally, We state  clearly  that henceforth, we will not take such allegations  lightly  by any person  or group  that wants to tarnish the brand  His Majesty  Eze Ihenetu  Eze Ohazurume 1 has expended  energy  and resources  to build over the years”, Rev. White said.HRM
