Eze Ukwu (1799–1862) was the 15th Obi of Otolo and Igwe of Nnewi kingdom.[1] He was the traditional supreme ruler and spiritual leader in Nnewi, an Igbo city in Nigeria. He was a member of the Nnofo Royal lineage and the successor to his father Eze Chukwu.[2] Unlike most Igbo monarchies, there were kings of Nnewi before the arrival of Europeans.[3]
