Abia Traditional Ruler Banishes Man for 10 Years Over Alleged Incest

The traditional ruler of Ikwuorie Autonomous Community in Ohanku Ndoki, Abia State, has banished a man for 10 years over allegations that he impregnated his biological daughter. The ruler, Apostle Chibuzor Gift Chinyere, is also the General Overseer of Omega Power Ministries (OPM). He said an investigation reportedly supported the allegation. He shared the decision in a statement on Thursday. Chinyere described the case as disturbing and said he was concerned about the pregnant woman and her unborn child, including the stigma the child might face. He ruled out abortion, calling it unacceptable, and raised concerns about the child’s identity and acceptance in the community. He also said he would support the man’s other children by providing food, educational assistance and monthly financial help while their father is away.
