The new monarch took over the monarchy recently after a
protracted succession crisis that rocked the kingdom for a decade without a
traditional ruler.
NDV learned that villagers, who went to clear the palace,
sealed off a decade ago, because of the imbroglio discovered the mysterious
graves considered to be desecration of the traditional stool.
The villagers were not happy with the pollution and have
called for cleansing to enable the new king take over the palace and
effectively commence running of the kingdom.
Meanwhile, investigation was on to discover perpetrators of
the abominable act.
Monarch confirms sacrilege, says I won’t be unnerved
HRM Hogan, who confirmed the sacrilege, said:
“After I was officially recognized because I had already
been recognized by my people and God, I had to send my subjects to clear the
palace, which was sealed off many years ago due to the crisis. In the process,
my people discovered three fresh human graves.”
“I do not know the aim of the people who buried those persons
in that palace and I do not know what they hoped to achieve, but be that as it
may, I am not afraid, they cannot scare me with things like that. I am a man of
faith and I believe in the Almighty God who has been by shield and He brought
us this far, He would surely finish the job.
“Whoever they buried in that place will not deter me from
doing what I am supposed to do for my people, which are to bring growth and
development. Calabar –South has suffered a lot of backwardness, retrogression
and all that have come to an end,” the monarch declared.
…warns clan heads, chiefs, village heads on land deals
His words: “It is a new era and I have warned all the clan
heads, chiefs, community leaders and village heads to desist from
double-dealing on land because this is the major reason why there has always
been crisis. Anyone found wanting or
caught in this act will face the full weight of our laws.”
