N’ Delta Chiefs Warn Military On Monarchs’ Homes Invasion
Forum of South-South Chiefs and Elders has condemned the invasion of the residence of the Amanyanabo of Okochiri Kingdom, in Okirika Local Government Area of Rivers State, King Ateke Tom, by men in camouflage regalia believed to be military men.
The body warned that the incident should be the last time the military would unwantonly invade the home of a traditional ruler in the region.
It also urged the military to seek a way of pacifying the region for the attack on one of its traditional rulers.
The Chairman of the Forum, High Chief Harry Omubo, made this call, weekend, at the palace of King Ateke, at Okochiri on Okrika Local Government Area of Rivers State.
Omobo said: “We were not happy when we got the news of the invasion of your palace by military men. We are standing against this kind of marginalisation and intimidation”.
