One by one, the indigenes of Arochukwu in Arochukwu Local Government Area of Abia State took turns to eulogise the lives and times of the departed first-class traditional ruler.
The Chairman, Aro National Rites of Passage Committee, Prof Okoro Ijeoma, described the deceased king as highly talented, educated, relaxed and very respectful.
He said the late traditional ruler sacrificed a lot for the peace of his community.
Prof Okoro used the occasion to draw the attention of the federal government to the deplorable state of Arochukwu/Ohafia highway.
He said the completion of the road would be the best way to immortalise the highly respected late monarch.
