Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinShare on Whatsapp

The police have handed over to the military the wanted traditional ruler of Ewu-Urhobo Kingdom in Delta State, His Royal Majesty, Clement Oghenerukevwe Ikolo, Urhukpe 1.

The spokesperson for the Delta Police Command, SP Bright Edafe, confirmed the development.

Ogenerukeywe, according to the Police Commissioner, Abaniwonda Olufemi, “turned himself in” shortly after the Defence Headquarters declared him and seven others wanted on Thursday.

The monarch was said to have arrived at the Police Command headquarters at exactly 6:41 pm.

The monarch, who spoke during an interview on TVC before he turned himself into the police, denied allegations of being involved in the killing of 17 Soldiers in the Okuama Community.

He said: “I am really very surprised and taken aback that my name as the monarch of the Kingdom will appear in the list of wanted persons. I have no hands in killing, I have no hands in encouraging anybody to kill anybody. It is against my philosophy as a human being and faith as a Catholic, it is against it.

“This is a serious crime against humanity and I think they need to look at the appropriate places. They need to do a thorough investigation to know those who have committed this and bring them to book let justice prevail. I am not a party to this, like I said earlier, the state government is aware.

“They know the turbulence I have been going through even up till now. As we speak, an arrangement was made by the government to invite the opponents recently, to invite those who are fighting me in the Kingdom to a meeting to reconcile whatever differences so that they can allow me go into the Kingdom and start to rule as the monarch of the place.

“I have not been able to set up anything. I haven’t been able to set up 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 am only just in the process to set up a structure to enable me rule in the Kingdom before this whole thing happened.”

Others declared wanted by the Defence Headquarters over their alleged roles in the recent killing of 17 military personnel on a peace-keeping mission to Delta State, include: Prof. Ekpekpo Arthur, Andaowei Dennis Bakriri, Akevwru Daniel Omotegbo (Aka Amagben), Akata Malawa David, Sinclear Oliki; a traditional ruler, Clement Ikolo Oghenerukeywe; Reuben Baru, and Igoli Ebi.
