The Cross River State Government has announced the indefinite suspension of the NKOT MBOK event. This decision, conveyed through a statement by the State Security Adviser, cites the organizers’ failure to meet necessary legal requirements despite prior notifications. Their disregard for established statutory laws has led to this action.
NKOT MBOK is an annual celebration held in the state capital that aims to unite the Efik, Efut, and Qua ethnic groups, showcasing their rich cultural heritage. However, in recent times, some political figures have attempted to co-opt the event for their personal agendas, leading to increased tension and concern among various community groups. As a result, the government has taken steps to ensure the safety and security of its citizens and properties within its jurisdiction.
The government stresses that all events must comply with legal protocols, and any parties involved in organizing such activities must do so in accordance with the law. Failure to follow these regulations will result in prosecution. The authorities urge all stakeholders to respect this directive and work collaboratively to preserve the integrity of cultural celebrations while safeguarding community interests.
