The intentional misrepresentation of the legal recovery of two Toyota Hilux cars and one Hiace bus from the property of suspended Deputy Governor Professor Ngozi Odu has shocked the Rivers State Government.

Hector Igbikiowubo, the State Government's Senior Special Adviser, said in a statement that the government was shocked that its standard administrative procedure, which was intended to secure government property, had been perverted by individuals it characterized as political opportunists looking to incite needless conflict.  Following the proclamation of a state of emergency, the state authorities questioned the vehicles' legal function on the suspended Deputy Governor's property.

The administration is devoted to wise management of public resources and will not be sidetracked by what it called unfounded charges, the statement said, adding that the recovery of assets cannot be interpreted as administrative overreach.

  By Nwafor Oji Awala. Following a Supreme Court Resolution on Oneh-eh Eleme Tussle, the Eleme Council of Chiefs has dedicated its victory to the memory of the immediate past traditional ruler of Eleme land, HRM Emere Samuel Oluka Ejire. Led by His Royal Majesty, Emere Philip Osaro Obele, Oneh-eh Eleme XI, the Eleme Council of Chiefs visited the home of the former monarch in Agbonchia to dedicate the judgement to the memory of the late king. Members of the council were received by the eldest son of the late monarch, Prince Awalanta Ejire, who warmly ushered them into what used to serve as Royal Court of late King Ejire, but now his final rest-place. The council said the name of King Ejire will be written in gold considering the role he devotedly played to ensure that the Eleme chieftaincy institution was not battered and distorted by usurpers, stating that the selection process of Oneh-eh Eleme is no more to be balkanized and ridiculed by throne buccaneers.     ...

By Nwafor Oji Awala  Traditional stakeholders of Nchia District in Eleme Local Government Area convened on Friday at the royal court of Oneh-eh Nchia, Obarijima Palace in Ogale, to express firm opposition to the recent Appeal Court judgment that reaffirmed King Appolus Chu as the Oneh-eh Nchia X of Eleme Kingdom. The gathering, called by His Royal Highness, Emere Godwin Bebe Okpabi, drew together paramount rulers of the clans that make up Nchia, land priests, youth leaders, women chiefs, and other traditional figures.
