    controversy surrounding the death of the monarch.
    NAN reports that Chief Yahya Pessu, member, Olu Advisory
    Council and other chiefs announced the Atuwase’s death in Ode-Itsekiri. He also
    announced Mr Godfrey Emiko as the Olu-designate, which was accompanied by wide
    ovation from the Itsekiri sons and daughters present at the event.

    Before the announcement, a chalk wrapped with red and black
    clothes was smashed on the ground three times to symbolise the demise of the
    monarch, and it was accompanied by 17 cannons shots.
    Addressing newsmen, Pessu said the Itsekiri people would be
    in a mourning mood in the next three months till the burial rite was concluded.
    “All Itsekiri adults both male and female will put their
    clothes inside out throughout this period of mourning.
    “No party, no drumming or merriment of any sort in Itsekiri
    land, until the burial is over and new Olu installed,” he said.
