The Ndanekpa descendants, one of the ruling clans in the Adadu community in Toto Local Council of the state, have raised alarm over the alleged distortion of their family history by Asumburuku descendants, the current ruling house in the community.
The ruling clan alleged that In October 2022, an Asumburuku descendant, Umar Musa, was installed as the Gbadu Adadu of the community, following the demise of Ibrahim Tukura in the year 2000.However, at the installation ceremony, the Ndanekpa descendants accused the Asumburuku family of deliberately refusing to recognize the first traditional ruler, Ndanekpa Usman Audu, who is of the Ndanekpa ruling house.
According to the statement, his brothers – Muhammadu Audu and Abdullahi Audu , left Danja area as a result of a leadership tussle and a quest for land ownership. “A women leader, Igyagu, an influential daughter of Muhammadu, was in charge of women’s affairs and market square ”, the statement added. “The move by Zainab was strongly resisted by Asumburuku descendants who claimed the right to produce the next chief of Adadu and not Momoh who was from a different Clan and has no direct ancestral lineage to Ndanekpa of Onyohu.
