The people of Kwo Chiefdom in Plateau State ushered into his palace with masquerades the newly installed 27th Long Kwo, Colonel Fidelis Attahiru Longtoe l, as he officially resumed office 33 years after the seat was last occupied.
The people made up of women, children and the aged, including Gamai’s Masquerades, lined up the streets of Kwande District of Qua’anpan in traditional attire, carrying fresh leaves to welcome the native ruler in what observers have described as a triumphant entry into Kwo.
Prior to the arrival of Miskoom Fidelis Attahiru Longtoe I from Jos to Kwo, traditional preparations and rites of passage were conducted.
The Long Kwo also stopped over to pay homage to the Long Pan Nda Emmanuel Dabang and the Chairman of Qua’anpan LGC, Hon Abdulmalik Haruna, at the council secreteriat in Baa’p.
