Gov. Okowa Of Delta State Mourns Death Of Ubuluku-uku Monarch by Adeznuru(m): 8:42pm On Jan 22, 2016 |
GOV. OKOWA OF DELTA STATE MOURNS DEATH
OF UBULUKU-UKU MONARCH
Delta State Governor, Senator (Dr.) Ifeanyi
Okowa has commiserated with the families of
the late Monarch of Ubulu-Uku, HRM Obi Edward
Ofulue III, the Kingdom of Ubulu-Uku and the
entire people of Delta State over the untimely
death of the late Monarch in the hands of his
abductors.
In a statement issued by his Chief Press
Secretary, the Governor said the death of Obi
Edward Ofulue III has opened a sacrilegious
chapter in history of the state and vowed that
the state, under his watch, would ensure that
the incidents of the abduction and his
subsequent death would be thoroughly
investigated.
“It was sad that a reigning king was abducted
but an unheard of fact was his murder in the
most dehumanizing circumstances by his
abductors, in the forest. I have directed an
inquiry into this abominable act and call on
Deltans; particularly the Kingdom and the
security agencies to work harmoniously to
unearth the culprits”.
Governor Okowa noted that he had received
with shock the news of the Obi’s abduction
about 15 days ago and enjoined the people of
Ubulu-Uku to close ranks in the course of this
investigation.
He said that King Edward’s death will mark a new
vista in the battle against kidnapping and other
violent crimes in the state and called on parents
to warn their wards about the companies they
keep as the state was out to make a guinea pig
of anybody found to be culpable in related
crimes.
The Governor who underscored the place of
security for peaceful and investor friendly
environment, observed that it was against this
background that his administration set up the
committees on peace and security with
prominent community leaders as members.
Senator Okowa noted that as part of
enlightenment on the dangers of these violent
crimes, the state has been sponsoring seminars
in higher institutions across the state to
sensitize the youths on the dangers and
implications of these crimes to their career and
the security of the state
