The people of Rundele Community in Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State has been warned to be wary of the antics of one Chief Damian Ejiowhor, who claims to be the Eze Newe-eli Rundele, as the Eze Newe-eli Rundele stool is presently before the Isiokpo High Court and the Court of Appeal in Rivers State, Port Harcourt.

A disclaimer issued on behalf of the people of Rundele by Eze Ogbuagu Great Owhor, reads; “I am calling the people of Rundele and Rivers state to disregard the parading of one Damian Ejiowhor, who claims to be the Eze Newe-eli Rundele. Eze Newe-Eli Rundele stool is at the Isiopko High Court and the Court of Appeal in Port Harcourt. So the false claim that Damian Ejiowhor is parading himself around the entire Rivers State, that he is the Eze Newe-Eli is false. I am using this medium to notify the entire Rundele and Rivers State, that Damian Ejiowhor is not the Eze Newe-Eli Rundele, as I Eze Ogbuagu Great Nyeche Owhor, remains the Eze Newe-Eli the Fifth”.



Continuing the statement disclosed, “Damian Ejiowohors’ claim is a false claim as the Rivers state government has been served, the Attorney General has been served, the Commissioner for Chieftaincy and Local Government has been served and Damian Njiowhor has equally been served in respect of the on-going case, at Isiokpo High Court. So please disregard any impersonation by Damian Njiowhor regarding the stool of Nye Newe-Eli Rundele.

Speaking further, Eze Ogbuagu Great Nyeche Owhor said that the Ogbolo Royal Stool is not for sale, but remains the Rundele community Royal Stool, that has been in existence for over Four Hundred Years in Rundele Community.



He said, “the Royal Stool was established by Eze Ogbolo the 1st my Great Grat Grand Father, one of the fou ders of Rundele Community. I am using this opportunity to call Rundele and the entire Rivers people in General, to disregard the impersonation of Damina Azubuik Ejiowhor, who is parading himself as the Eze Nyewe-Eli Rundele as false and shouldn’t be taken seriously”.
