The leader of the delegation from Ukpo , Ichie Okwuchukwu Ezeaku, said the council of elders and cabinet members in an emergency meeting reviewed the activities and allegations levelled against their son, Izuchukwu Nwabueze and resolved to strip him off, of all his positions and traditional titles conferred on him by the town.
