The heir apparent to the late Obi
of Issele-Uku, Aniocha North
Local Government Area of Delta
State, Nduka Ezeaguna, 20, has
already been crowned by the
community’s kingmakers.
Nduka, a 300 level Chemical
Engineering student of the
University of Ibadan, is
however, said to be regretting
his inability to celebrate with
his father, Henry Ezeaguna, who
was due to mark his birthday on
August 28, 2014.
The Obi of Issele-Uku, who died
in an auto crash along with
Governor Emmanuel
Uduaghan’s aide Sunny Ofili, at
the weekend, was already
distributing invitation cards for
the birthday ceremony to well
wishers before the tragic
accident.
A visit to the community
showed that socio–economic
activities in the town has
become low keyed while
residents were seen in groups
discussing the demise of the
monarch and worried about the
identity of the lady inside the
car who died alongside the
monarch and the governor’s
aide.
The governor’s aide, on his part,
was said to have been assured
by the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), the monarch and
delegates alike of representing
Aniocha North state
constituency in 2015, just as
everything has been provided
by the decease to clinch the
position.
The Onishe of Issele-Uku, a
retired judge, Justice Azomani,
performed the traditional rites of
sitting the young monarch on
the thrown awaiting full
coronation later.
Daily Independent source
disclosed on Monday that the
President General of the
community, Cypril Ashibogwu,
has directed that the market in
the town is to remain closed for
21 days and that the market is to
be relocated to somewhere else.
The accident victims were burnt
to death, as the Sport Utility
Vehicle (SUV) driven by the
monarch burst into flames after
hitting a truck laden with
granite stones (Edo FUG 238
XA) from the rear at Otulu
Junction on the Benin-Asaba-
Onitsha expressway.
Eyewitness account said
following the accident, the rear
tyros of the truck were deflated
and the SUV burnt beyond
recognition. Tears rolled down
freely as rescue team made
frantic effort to extricate the
burnt corpses of the monarch
and the aide that were trapped in the vehicle

story for the gods, (the gods are wise)
