Solicitors to His Royal Majesty, Dr.Michael Idakwo Ameh Oboni II and Igala Area Traditional Council have faulted the announcement of the demise of the monarch which runs contrary to the culture and tradition of the people.

Recall the death of the Kogi's paramount ruler was made public on Thursday, August 27 by most of the biggest media houses in the country without the official statement being released by the council.

Consequently, they are seeking the immediate withdrawal of such announcements and presentations by all the media platforms.

In a statement issued on Friday, the solicitors, Chief Festus Oguche and Dr. D.D. Makolo stated categorically that the whole idea of the announcement were however predicated on certain fundamental misconception of the underpinnings of the Igala culture and tradition.

Unfortunately, they said, some of the purveyors of the falsehood are Igala sons who should have known better.

“It is utmost dismay that we noticed the peddling of certain information both on social and mainstream media announcing the demise of the Attah Igala.

Nobody is interested in tradition again , everyone is just interested in being the one to break the news to the world.

It is understandable that there are some rites and rituals to be performed on a demised king before the announcement, but we know that these rituals and rites are just there to buy the time for some properties to be taken out by the demised king family and chiefs from the palace for personal use.

All the same, traditions and custom of the land should be respected.

It was announced by the brown roof republic and it's cohorts in skull mining

It's CULTISM.

This is 2020 and the king is dead, isn't he? At least, it is not fake news.

This land is for sale

Who don Die don Die



RIP Sir

Lawyers and their grammer sef.News fly anyhow regardless of announcements made.So can we go ahead and mourn with Igala nation now or we should wait?

That person in the picture, is he the late Attah or a native doctor?

cult

There shouldn’t be a big deal announcing the passing away of anybody

Only the King dynasty can announce his demise to public in tradition. The attah is not a minister or political appointee but a traditional ruler. Media should have wait for official release even though it was true. Very on point to sue them

That's because the world is evolving and traditions must catch up wether it likes it or not,..the statue he wore on the neck was once a real human skull why did they jettison it? That's civilization

Welcome to the era of the triumph of the social media...even your birthday is announced by the social media before you,the celebrant.

they re madt. is he dead? yes/no

If only Africa would uphold traditions that propagate humanity and not tradition for tradition sake. We hold on tightly to old inherited traditions yet, we keep moving backwards. It's not about traditions but how those traditions impact humanity positively.
