The family of Adjogbe in Evwreni community, Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State, has accused the community's monarch, Oghenekevwe Kumane, of ordering the killing of their son, Sylvester Adjogbe.

Sylvester, younger brother to the immediate past Executive Director, Projects, of the Niger Delta Development Commission, Samuel Adjogbe, was killed on July 1, 2020 by armed vigilante codenamed "Bakassi Boys" on the alleged orders of the monarch.

Crisis had engulfed the community few weeks ago following the disbandment of the community's local security outfit said to be working with the monarch, leading to the alleged killing of two persons; one Marcus Uba and a little girl, Esther Kowfigho, while the house of one Matthew Uba was vandalised by the local vigilante.

The development, our correspondent reliably gathered, had on June 20, 2020 led to the failed attempted assassination of Samuel Adjogbe along the East/West Road close to the community, leaving one of his aides and driver hospitalised.

According to sources, a police team from the State Criminal Investigation Department, Asaba, led by one John Agbajie, stormed the community to arrest a suspect, Atiri Stephen, but the monarch allegedly mobilised his local vigilante and prevented the arrest.

Addressing journalists on Sunday on behalf of the Adjogbe family, Lucky Adjogbe, a member of the family, accused the traditional ruler of ordering the killing of their son, Sylvester, at the family compund at Evwreni community.

"Our brother, Sylvester Adjogbe, 34, was gruesomely murdered at the family compound on July 1, 2020, by one Kelly Omojugheri on the orders of the Ovie of Evwreni Kingdom, HRM Oghenekevwe Kumane, and we demand justice.

"We are calling on the Inspector-General of Police, Commissioner of Police, Delta State, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa to investigate the circumstance leading to the murder of our younger brother and bring the perpetuator to book, anything short of this is injustice."

Meanwhile, cameraman of a popular television station in Nigeria, Tom Edet, has narrowly escaped death at the palace of the traditional ruler.

Narrating his ordeal, Edet said he had visited the traditional ruler last week to get his side of the story but was surrounded by "Bakassi Boys" stationed at the palace who allegedly harassed and molested him.

When our correspondent contacted the traditional ruler, Kumane, over the issue, he declined comments as soon as he realised he was speaking with a journalist.

Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, Onome Onowakpoyeya, confirmed the crisis in the community when contacted by our correspondent, saying that "investigations are still ongoing".

People appear like angels until you hear them speak. You must not rush
to judge people by the colour of their
cloaks, but by the content of their
words!

Ftc for monday Let this Monday be kind to you: be happy
with what you have and accept the things
which you cannot change.

Damnnnnn niggarrr
Too bad
But i won't be fast to take side..... because my grandfather always warn me about two things
That i should always mind my own business... he is 146 years old and still very much alive simply because he is always minding his own business
And also my grandfather will always say there are three sides to a story
1) the complainant own story
2) the accused own version
3) the true story

Not until we hear from this three sides we won't lambaste the monarch

Which kind story be this, deltans sef

something must be wrong somewhere

Some people nor know say nothing dey last for ever, why take a life you cannot create..




Together we can make Nigeria better


Nigerian youths drop your differences and unite



God bless Nigeria.

Even the people are calling on hands no clean for cases like this in Delta State. If you know you know

jus huriedly scanned tru the new bcoz am kinda busy and all i can say its that the monach is using bakassi boys to run inhouse dirty games..
its a family problem and i even saw where they said they are waiting for the police to begin investigation, all i can say is that its not a good move because the pooice may delay d case and he suspwct may even bribe the police..
but why run to the police when they can easily involve the gods on whats happening on its land
abi the dibia isnt around?? or are the gods are on lockdown and n no longer watching
i think i nid to personally consult chiwetalu agu on this matter but i fear he may also be on the kings side because of cash and besides na him usual way be that...

ona ni die



The security agencies should bring perpetrators of this murder to book....if able young men are killed who will buy the laptops and IT product i sell?

Too bad

Hmmm

This monarch’s father was murdered over this kind of issues, his father was tied to a vehicle and dragged till he died. One of the Adjogbe’s awarded NDDC contract worth billions of Naira to build his palace. This problem is political Otega Emerho Vs Adjogbe. As king he should try to unite both sons of the community not taking side with one them.
