A ROYAL PROCLAMATION
One Year Anniversary of the Historic Judicial Affirmation
On this day, the 31st of July 2025, we solemnly commemorate one year since the Honourable High Court of Abia State, sitting in the Umunneochi Judicial Division, delivered its historic judgment in Suit No. HUM/1/2024.
In that landmark ruling, His Lordship, Hon. Justice Chido Nwakanma, reaffirmed the sanctity and autonomy of our revered ancestral stool, and thereby restrained any further interference in its sacred administration. The judgment, delivered with wisdom and clarity, restored peace, order, and confidence in the traditional institution of Arochukwu.
As of this date, no notice of appeal has been filed, nor has any competent court issued a stay or reversal of the said decision. Accordingly, the judgment remains valid, binding, and in full legal force.
In line with the powers conferred by the judgment, and pursuant to the traditions and customs of the Aro Kingdom, it is with honour and duty that I, His Majesty, Eze Mazi Godwin Kanu Idei, Eze Aro of Arochukwu, hereby give formal approval to the Ikeji Aro 2025 Calendar as presented.
Let this proclamation stand as a symbol of our commitment to justice, cultural integrity, and the enduring legacy of our ancestors. May the Aro Kingdom continue to flourish in peace, dignity, and unity.
Signed:
HM Eze Mazi Godwin Kanu Idei
Eze Aro of Arochukwu
