who was installed as the fourth Tor Tiv in April
1991.

were on their way to the government house for
proper briefing and the handover of the staff
of office, which was previously held by the
former king.
He said details of the burial plans would be
announced later.
Aged 71 years, Torkula died at a private

throne, on Monday, according to NAN.
