The traditional ruler of Warri, Atunwase II, had few days ago declared in a document titled “The New Order of Iwere Kingdom,” that the “Ogiame” title which had been in existence for over 500 years would cease to exist following the recent consecration of the kingdom to God.
The monarch, in the document, said he had renounced his allegiance to the “Umalokun” (goddess of the sea), land and sky as well as the “Ogiame” title to which his ancestors had pledged allegiance to “Umalokun” and other deities.
This was however met with very strict resistance as the IDOL WORSHIPERS besieged the palace mounting canopies at the entrance gate.
Itshekiri masquerades which the King sought to abolish were also brought in to spice up the protest as they banged the gate of the palace while the protest lasted.
GATE BANGING MASQUERADES....................
It took the intervention of Delta State Governor, Uduaghan, to restore temporary peace in the kingdom.......
Ride on KING............... We salute your courage..................
