Warri Kingdom in Delta State yesterday said that the Olu of Warri, Ogiame Ikenwoli, is presently indisposed and receiving treatment in an undisclosed hospital.
The media had reported the news of the demise of the monarch on Monday.
He was said to have died from COVID-19 related illness after his health allegedly deteriorated on Sunday evening.
But a statement from the monarch’s palace signed by Chief Clement Maleghemi, Director of Palace Administration, said the Olu is still receiving treatment at the moment.
In the three-paragraph statement, Maleghemi said the office of the traditional prime minister would inform the general public of any other development in the Warri Kingdom.
