The traditional ruler of Ewu community in Ughelli South local government area of Delta state has vehemently denied any involvement in the recent tragic deaths of soldiers in Okuama community. Declared wanted by the Nigerian army in connection with the killings, the monarch, speaking exclusively to Galaxy TV, expressed shock and disbelief at finding his name on the list of wanted persons.

Describing the killings as a "heinous crime" that goes against his very character and religious beliefs, the monarch emphasized his innocence in the matter. He revealed that he has been unable to access his kingdom, adding another layer of surprise to being declared wanted. He stated that the Delta state government is well aware of his current situation.

"I have no hand in the killing," the monarch declared, urging the Nigerian army to delve deeper into the investigation to uncover the true perpetrators behind this tragic incident.


Okuama Killing: Wanted Delta monarch surrenders self to security agents

The traditional ruler of Ewu Kingdom in Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State, HRM Clement Ikolo Oghenerukevwe, has surrendered himself to the Police.

The monarch was declared wanted following the killing of 17 soldiers in the Okuama community.

He was declared wanted along side the President-General of Ewu, Prof Ekpekpo Arthur, and six others by the Defence Headquarters of the Nigerian Army.

Meanwhile, it was learned that the monarch held a press conference before submitting himself to the Police.

My story – Monarch
According to a statement by the traditional ruler at the briefing, “I am very surprised that my name as the monarch of the kingdom will appear in the list of wanted persons.

“I have no hand in the killings, I have no hand in encouraging anybody to kill anybody. It is against my philosophy as a human being and my faith as a Catholic.

“It is a serious crime against humanity. They need to look at the appropriate places and do thorough investigation to know all those who committed this, bring them to book and let justice prevail.

“I am not a party to this. And like I have said earlier, the state government is aware of the turbulence I have been going through.

“And as I speak, an arrangement was made by the government to invite the opponents recently just before these happenings.

“(The arrangement was) To invite those who are fighting me in the kingdom to reconcile the differences and allow me to go into the kingdom and start to rule as the monarch of the place.

“I have not been able to set up anything. Not even my traditional council. I have done nothing in the kingdom.

“So I barely know anything right now. I have no information, I know nothing. I’m only just in the process of setting up a structure to enable me rule in the kingdom,” he added.

Govt knows you have no hands in the killings and never said or insinuated so. But the very fact that the killings occurred in your kingdom is what makes you culpable and that is one of the responsibilities you must bear as a leader. Getting you involved or linked to the killings is an acceptable step in smoking out the murderers as your assistance in that regard is invaluable. Now the most honourable action expected from you is to submit yourself to the authority before they track you down by themselves.

In one of the narratives flying around, they said they demobilized the soldiers first with juju that jammed their rifles.

This man should go and submit himself willingly to clear his name. He may suffer in the hands of the babaric Nigerian army o, but submitting himself is the only best option left for him.

I can bet you that none of the participants in that dastardly act would be caught. The army would just grandstand and kill innocent people to satisfy their egos.

They are traditional idiots from the SW. Who are busy shouting RONU and MANDATE while their SON encouraged FULANI to kill them senselessly in their own Kingdom.

Now they are DEAD and till today the Herdsmen that killed them are roaming free.

Useless COWARDs grin

This one is more Catholic than the Pope.
Fake over sabi religious people over the land. What has been a Catholic got to do with what you are wanted for? So Catholics no they kill people all over the world on a daily basis? South Americans are almost 90+ percent Catholics and na there more killings they happen on daily basis more than anywhere on Earth outside of war zones.

Rubbish trash. Lock his ass up.

Except for 2 people with hardened face, on this list, all the other people looks innocent jare. They should use this seal to also go after bandits in the north that are well known and live among the people, creating another type of government.
