There are a number of facts out of the ancient kingdom of Idumuje Ugboko in recent times. Foremost of these is that Obi Nwoko, who became monarch in 1970’s has joined his ancestors. Another is that a new Obi has been “enthroned”. Between these two facts, a lot of controversies exist. First, it is true that the late Obi was far advanced in age. He passed on at 90 years. But, had he died naturally? Or had life been snuffed out of his frail frame by usurpers to the ancient stool of Idumje Ugboko?
