The Olu of Warri, His Majesty, Ogiame Ikenwoli, has joined his ancestors barely one week after the grand finale of his fifth coronation anniversary celebration.
The monarch allegedly died of COVID19 complications on Monday, barely a week after his fifth coronation anniversary.
The Olu is suspected to have contracted the virus when he came in contact with the late General Officer Commanding 6 Division Port Harcourt, Major General John Irefin, who died earlier this month from COVID-19 complications too.
Ogiame Ikenwoli who ascended the royal stool of Warri Kingdom on 12th December 12, 2015, was aged 65.
The news of the monarch’s death came as a shock as he was lively and did now show signs of illness as he joyfully received well-wishers from far and near who paid him royal homage during his fifth coronation anniversary, less than a week ago.
