The Zone 5 Headquarters of the Nigeria Police in Benin City, Edo State, yesterday, quizzed the suspended traditional Prime Minister of Warri Kingdom in Delta State, Chief Ayiri Emami, the Ologbotsere of Warri Kingdom, over the alleged invasion of the palace of the Olu of Warri.
Following the demise of the immediate past Olu of Warri, Ogiame Ikenwoli Atuwatse II, in December 2020, the palace was reportedly invaded and the 400-year-old crown and symbol of the Itsekiri monarchy allegedly removed.

Cities and Thrones and Powers one does not need a university degree or a business school education to understand that these are not easily grasped. Following the passing of the Olu of Warri, Ogiame Ikenwoli in December of 2020, what might have been a sombre period lasting half a year or more has been disrupted by the interruption of well-known political figure and Itsekiri titleholder, Chief Ayiri Emami.

Based on the reports from Emami’s corner, he is totally against the recent developments regarding the late Ogiame Ikenwoli’s successor.
