*Iheakpu-Awka: Mayor Ukwueze Meets with Leadership, Halts Akatakpa Activities for 2025, Assumes Medical Bill of Victim and Vehicle Repair*

The Executive Chairman of Igbo-Eze South Local Government, Barr. Ugo Ferdinand Ukwueze, on Tuesday, 19th August 2025, visited Iheakpu-Ulo community in the wake of the violent activities linked to the Akatakpa masquerade festival.

During the visit, Mayor Ukwueze held a crucial meeting with the traditional leadership, elders and other critical community stakeholders, where he strongly condemned the brutal acts perpetrated under the guise of cultural celebration. He described the incident as a departure from the values and identity for which the people of Igbo-Eze South are known.

While reaffirming his administration’s respect and support for the cultural and traditional heritage of the people, the Mayor stressed that culture must not be exploited as a cover for criminality. In this regard, he ordered the immediate suspension of Akatakpa activities in the community throughout 2025 as a decisive preventive measure against further occurrences.

In addition to the directive, Mayor Ukwueze announced that the local government would assume full responsibility for the medical expenses of the victim of the attack, Mr Yusuf, as well as cover the costs of repairing his damaged vehicle. He further directed the arrest and prosecution of the suspects already identified in connection with the incident.

Responding on behalf of the community, the elders and leadership of Iheakpu-Awka expressed appreciation for the Mayor’s prompt intervention, describing it as timely and reassuring. They pledged their commitment to ensuring total compliance with the suspension order and reiterated their readiness to work with the local government to safeguard peace and order within the community.

Mayor Ukwueze assured that his administration will continue to prioritise the protection of lives and property, while promoting a peaceful coexistence that preserves cultural identity without undermining the security and well-being of the people.
