4. Withdrawal and suspension of recognition accorded to Chiefs

(1)The President may, by statutory order, withdraw the recognition accorded to any person under this Act if, after due inquiry, he is satisfied that—

(b)the withdrawal of the recognition accorded to the person is necessary in the interests of peace, order and good government.
(2)Where the President deems it expedient to inquire or cause inquiry to be made into the question of the withdrawal of the recognition accorded to a person under this Act, he may, by statutory order, suspend the recognition so accorded until such time as the inquiry has been completed and the President has made a decision on the question.

5. Inquiries

The President may appoint a person or persons to inquire into any question relating to the recognition of any person under this Act or the withdrawal of the recognition accorded to any such person and, on the completion of the inquiry, to report and make recommendations thereon to the President.

(b)subject to the provisions of subsection (2), transfer to the person so appointed, for such period as the order remains in force, all or any of the functions of the office of that Chief.
(2)The traditional functions of the office of a Chief under African customary law shall not be transferred under this section to a Deputy Chief except to the extent that such functions may competently be discharged under African customary law by a person other than a Chief.

7. Exclusion of former Chief or Deputy Chief from specified area

(1)Where the recognition accorded to a person as a Chief or the appointment of a person as a Deputy Chief has been withdrawn or revoked under this Act, and the President is satisfied that the presence of such person in any area would be prejudicial to the maintenance of public order in that area, the President may, by notice under his hand, prohibit such person from being within the area specified in the notice on and after a date specified in the notice, except in such circumstances and on such conditions, if any, as may be specified in the notice.
(2)As soon as the President is satisfied that the necessity for the prohibition contained in a notice given under subsection (1) no longer exists, he shall cancel it by further notice under his hand.
(3)A notice given under this section shall be served personally on the person to whom it relates or, if he cannot be found, shall be published in the Gazette.

(3)It shall be the duty of a kapasu promptly to obey and execute all lawful directions given to him by the Chief or Deputy Chief to whom he is attached.

10. Functions of Chiefs and Deputy Chiefs

(1)Subject to the provisions of this section, a Chief shall discharge—

(2)A Chief shall not discharge any of the functions of his office which have been transferred under this Act to a Deputy Chief.
