Court order, not Senator Nwoye, halted Nsugbe Igweship election, documents reveal

The planned election for a new traditional ruler in Nsugbe was halted by a court order issued by Justice Jude Obiora on August 5, 2026, not by Senator Tony Nwoye's intervention. Mr. Sunday Attah, Chairman of the Caretaker Committee for Nsugbe community affairs, accused Nwoye of disrupting the election process. Court documents reveal that the order was issued in connection with an ongoing case, prohibiting any election until a decision is reached.
