A day old
baby boy, Ugochukwu, was yesterday crowned the prince of Igbodo Kingdom of Ika
North East Local Government Area of Delta State.
According
to the Vanguard, he was crowned some few hours after his birth within the
hospital environment.
To
address the succession issue once and for all warranted the Igbodo ruling house
to move straight to the hospital, where the child was born and crowned him
there without further protocol
It was
gathered that the boy was delivered on Wednesday night and the following
morning (yesterday) he was crowned. Chief Eugene Iyeke of the ruling house of
Igbodo led the delegation to Asaba with members of the Obi-in-council and
notable indigenes.
It will
be recalled that that the Obi of Igbodo, Obi Ikechukwu Osedume I, succumbed to
the wishes of his people by formally marrying an indigene of the community in
accordance to the native law and custom early in October last year.
And it
was the wife, called Onyinyechukwu, a native of Igbodo that bore the boy that
was crowned yesterday morning.
