News Statement on the Coronation of the Olu of Warri.

The attention of the Palace of the Olu of Warri, and the Coronation Central Working Committee, CWC, has been drawn to a purported statement, announcing dates for both the final burial rites of His Majesty, Ogiame Ikenwoli, and the coronation of Omoba Tsola Emiko, as the 21st Olu of Warri.

It is hereby stated that the purported dates are fake and do not carry the approval of the CWC, nor the Omoba himself.

A firm date will be announced in due course, for both ceremonies, at a proper news conference to be addressed by chief Johnson Amatserunleghe, the Iyatsere of Warri, and acting chairman of the Olu’s Advisory Council, the king makers, and only body that has the authority so to do.

We seize this opportunity to warn all mischief makers and other social media influencers, who are always quick to release so called “breaking News”, to take heed and hold themselves in restraint.

All stories and information emanating from the Palace or CWC, must be cleared from prince Yemi Emiko, who is the chairman of Media & Publicity, and the authorized source of Information for the entire process.

We thank you all for your kind understanding and cooperation.

Signed:
Prince Yemi Emiko.
