Justice Ononeze Madu, wherein his Lordship granted the reliefs sought by the Plaintiff and declared that the Plaintiff was the rightful person to be the Eze or Eze Elect, being the undisputed traditional head/ruler and Akajiofor of Ubaha, Akpulu Autonomous Community, being the most senior Akajiofor from the most senior house/kindred and Village; that the defendant was not entitled to the throne of Ubaha Akpulu Autonomous Community as the Eze, not coming from the most senior/house/lineage in Agbara Kindred/Village and not being duly selected, identified and installed as the Eze or Eze Elect of Ubaha Akpulu.
