Obiaruku Kingship: Ossai Wants To Hijack The Throne Of My Father, Says Prince Morka

Prince Ogbefi Jeremiah, the great grandson of Pa Morka, the founder of Obiaruku community in Ukwuani Local Government Area of Delta State, Nigeria, has alleged that some persons in the area have ganged up to deny his father the right to ascend the throne of his forefathers.

In a telephone conversation with Oasis Magazine (OM), he expressed shock and fear of possible trouble in Obiaruku Community over the dishonorable act of some persons he described as charlatans.

His words: “It is a known fact that my fore-father, Pa Morka founded Obiaruku community.
But, the manner in which intruders are going about the issues of the traditional rulership on a daily basis is becoming worrisome.
“Just this morning, while I was in the convoy of my father, Prince Ogbefi Morka, heading to see a former deputy governor of Delta State, Prof Amos Utuama, to seek his advice and guidance on the proposed community conference for my father to ascend the throne of his fathers, I was reliably informed that some scavengers are holding a kangaroo inaugaration to instal one Mr John Ossai as ruler over the descendants of Morka.

“It’s not only shameful but an issue of man’s wickedness to man that the likes of Chief Scarla, Chief Skido, Chief Joe Anumati, Chief Andrew Nwanbeze, Chief Isaiah and Chief Uchiebenu would present an imposter to rule over our people.

“It is on this note that I want to call on the Delta State Government, the office of the Deputy Governor, Commissioner of Police, DSS and all security apparatus in the state to call Mr John Ossai and his co-travelers to order to avert this unnecessary looming troubles.”
At the time of filing this report, attempts to reach Ossai proved abortive.
