15-Year Old Son Of Murdered Delta Monarch Crowned King

         

A new Obi (King), Chukwuka Noah Akaeze I, has been presented to the people of Ubulu-Uku Kingdom in Aniocha South Local Government Area of Delta State.

Obi Akaeze I succeeded his father, late Obi Akaeze Edward Ofulue III who was kidnapped and subsequently murdered last month by gun­men.

The presentation of the 15-year-old King followed the fulfillment of different rites that culminated in his crowning as King by the kingmakers of Ubulu-Uku.

He was first presented to the members of the Royal family before the presentation to the council of elders at the palace.


The brief ceremony was attended by prominent citizens of the kingdom including the member representing Aniocha/Oshimili constituency at the Federal House of Representatives, Mrs. Ony­emaechi Mrakpor and the President-General of Ubulu-Uku Development Union, Comrade Jones Ofunne.


Also in attendance was the chairman of Anio­cha South council, Mr. Isaac Anwuzia, traditional chiefs and title holders in the kingdom, religious leaders, women, youths and other stakeholders of the agrarian community


Speaking on the significance of the ceremony, Secretary of the Palace, Barr. Joseph Obazei described it as “wonderful in our time.”


“This is a young man who was not even looking up to this position because his father was young and vibrant, unfortunately this bad event occurred.


“He has now been thrust upon the throne taking up the mantle of his late father. Ubulu-Uku people are very happy that somebody has taken up the throne because the king never dies.

-“When it appears that there is no king, there is already a king. That is what has just happened.”
