By Daniel Dafe

Chief Jubilant Uzuazo Igelige ,JP has called on the general public to disregard a publication making the rounds that, HRM A.W.O. Ovrawah JP, FCAI, Omogha 1, the Odio-Ologbo of Oleh, was arrested and kept in police detention.

A statement signed by Chief Igelige on Wednesday described the said publication as a “media onslaught against the reverred traditional ruler by his own son, “Victor Ovrawah” and cohorts for several mundane and questionable reasons.”

According to him, “his Majesty is in his house, hale and hearty at 85.”

The statement added: “It is unfortunate to say that, the symphony of multiple lies expressed in the said publication can best promote falsehood and deception, and that would be corrected soon by Prince Tony Ovrawah. These immoral, immodest actions can neither dethrone nor devalue our revered king.”
