Ogwashi-Uku Kingdom has reacted to a defamatory online story on the kingdom’s traditional ruler, saying “it was published with the intent to tarnish the reputation of His Majesty, the Obi of Ogwashi-Uku Kingdom.”

According to the publication, the said monarch was petitioned for land-grabbing, arming killer squads, kidnapping and convicted for a crime overseas of theft of $300 computers before he was enthroned as king.

In a swift reaction, a statement signed by Prince Ifeakanachukwu Emordi, the Palace Secretary, added that “this malicious story is part of an ongoing campaign against His Majesty and his family, launched by individuals seeking to disrupt the peace and integrity of the Ogwashi-Uku community.”

The statement continued: “The recent story was sponsored by Barrister Mayor Okolie, Elumunor Adigwe who are facing criminal charges in charge number FHC/ASB/18C/2024 for terrorism, causing intercommunal war, levying war on a traditional ruler, attempted murder and destruction of police and vigilante vehicle at the Federal High Court in Asaba, stemming from his October 2023 attack against His Majesty.”
