Olu Of Warri Has Died Of COVID-19 by dre11(op): 10:02pm On Dec 21, 2020
The monarch died on Monday morning, barely a week after his fifth coronation anniversary. He was said to have met with the late Major General John Irefin, who died earlier this month from COVID-19 complications.

Olu of Warri, Ikenwoli Godfrey Emiko, has died of COVID-19.

The monarch died on Monday morning, barely a week after his fifth coronation anniversary. He was said to have met with the late Major General John Irefin, who died earlier this month from COVID-19 complications.

Though none of the palace chiefs was willing to confirm or deny it, there was palpable apprehension in the palace vicinity on Monday while some people were also in a sombre mood.

A source confirmed the news to SaharaReporters, saying the monarch died on Monday morning from the coronavirus. Another source said many palace workers besieged the adjoining shops selling strong alcoholic drinks to buy from them as they believed it would cure them of COVID-19 should they have contracted it from the monarch.

“Olu of Warri is dead but the palace chiefs are trying to keep the information hidden from the public till they are sure the time is right,” the source added.

The late monarch, who was born on March 19, 1955, ascended the throne on December 12, 2015.

2020 was that year, this news has been trending with unverified source, seun has been smart not to push to front page until it is confirmed or refuted...Journalism with wisdom.
It is wickedness to announce the death of someone that is alive, all those who announced the death of Zik even when he was alive died before him

Olu of Itsekiri tongue

This virus will surely purge Nigeria of its thieving ruler/despot-class. Treasury bandit Isa Funtua is gone, ditto Abba Kyari the puppet master. Certain evil people have so dug themselves into the trenches against Nigeria's progress that they literally have to die for this country to live.

That was absolute recklessness.
