Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, Governor of of Delta State, Thursday, directed the police to arrest individuals, who parade themselves as traditional rulers without government recognition.

Uduaghan gave the order in Isiokolo, Ethiope East Local Government Area of the state during the presentation of Staff of Office to the Ovie of Agbon clan, HRM Ogurime-Rime, Ukori I.

He said: “Except you are recognized by the state government, you cannot be called a traditional ruler. If you are calling yourself a traditional ruler, you will be arrested and prosecuted”.

He frowned at situations where individuals ascribe kingship to themselves, especially in Otu-Jeremi and Oghara areas.
