Though, the report was sketchy, it was learnt that the Monarch held a Press Conference briefing before submitting himself to the police.
In the briefing, the traditional ruler said; “I am very surprised that my name as the monarch of the kingdom will appear in the list of wanted persons.
“I have no hand in the k!llings, I have no hand in encouraging anybody to k!ll anybody, it is against my philosophy as a human being and my faith as a Catholic.
“It is a serious crime against humanity and they need to look at the appropriate places and do thorough investigation to know all those who have committed this and bring them to book and let justice prevail.
“I am not a party to this and like I have said earlier, the state government is aware of the turbulence I have been going through and as I speak, an arrangement was made by the government to invite the opponents recently just before this happenings.
“To invite those who are fighting me in the kingdom to reconcile the differences and allow me to go into the kingdom and start to rule as the monarch of the place.
“I have not being able to set up anything, I have not been able to set up my traditional council, I have done nothing in the kingdom.
“So I barely know anything right now, I have no information, I know nothing Iam only just in the process of set up a structure to enable me rule in the kingdom.”
