Gov. Wike dethrones top
monarch in Rivers
Rivers State
Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has approved the immediate withdrawal of
Certificate of Recognition and staff of office from His Royal Majesty, Chief
Frank Noryaa, Gbenemene Baabe.
This was made known
yesterday in a statement by Simeon Nwakaudu, Special Assistant to the Governor
on Electronic Media.
According to the
statement, the withdrawal of government’s recognition from HRM Noryaa followed
his alleged indictment on cult-related activities within his kingdom.
“The traditional
ruler was also indicted for harbouring cultists, leading to insecurity in the
area,” he said.
The statement
quoted Governor Wike as saying his “administration remained committed to the
promotion of peace and security across the state.”
Also the governor
warned other traditional rulers and government functionaries against being
indicted for promoting insecurity, saying they will face the full weight of the
law.
