Police interrogate Delta Monarch over suspected murder case

POLICEMEN attached to the Delta State Police Command, weekend, interrogated the Obi of the Idumuje-Ugboko Kingdom in Aniocha North Local Government Area of the state, HRM Nonso Nwoko over a suspected murder case.

The policemen who stormed the monarch’s palace in Commando style, after he allegedly refused to honour invitation extended to him by the command, threw the community into confusion.

Alleging that the king was whisked away from his palace around 2 am in about 15 vehicles that stormed the palace with heavily armed men, the Monarch’s wife, Queen Dumebi, however, confirmed that her husband returned home at about 10 pm on Saturday.

Ugboko was humiliated early morning as members of the Nigerian Police, Asaba invaded the Royal palace of Obi Nonso Nwoko, destroyed his doors, tear gas and whisked him away, inside an unmarked vehicle, to an unknown destination.

“This is the worst desecration of the ancient kingdom of our community and a bold slap on our faces. A threat to the life of our Obi is a threat to our lives. Ugboko is bruised.

“Our forefathers are crying. Our children are groaning. Our enemies have gone to war.”

Confirming the development, the State Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr Hafiz Inuwa, said some suspects have been arrested in connection with the suspected murder case.

Saying that investigation was still in progress, Inuwa debunked claims that the Monarch was abducted. He said: “we went there to arrest him for refusing to honour our invitation over a suspected murder case.

“He has since be left to go home, and he apologized for not initially honouring the invitation.”

Olu Of Warri Defends Tradition, Speaks on Christianity

Olu Of Warri Defends Tradition, Speaks on Christianity The Olu of Warri, His Majesty Ògíamẹ̀ Atúwàtse III, has dispelled the insinuation that there is a conflict between the traditional thrones and Christendom. The monarch, who stated this when he received the Soun of Ogbomoso land, Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye, Orumogege III, in his Palace in Warri Kingdom, Delta State, said that the two institutions were not necessarily antithetical. He also debunked the assumption that traditional institutions were synonymous with fetishism and the worship of creations made by human beings and reasoning. He, however, noted that the two institutions can play complementary role that will contribute to the growth and development of the country. The Olu, who said he was elated by the Soun’s visit, said the new Ogbomoso monarch’s choice of Warri kingdom as his first place of visit was divinely directed, just as his choice for the throne was divinely ordained. He said that they owe i
