Ugborodo elders dethrone Ojogor as head

By Emma Arubi
WARRI— Elders and leaders of Ugborodo community in Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta state, weekend, dethroned their community head (Eghare-Aja), Pa. Wellington Ojogor and installed Pa. Pender Nene as the new Eghare-Aja at Ode- Ugborodo, its ancestral home.

Ugborodo Community Trust Vice-Chairman, Mr. Isaac Botosan, who spoke to Vanguard on the installation of Pa. Nene as the new Eghare-Aja, said the elders played them out in the installation to forestall the leakage of information to the public because youths had sometime in September frustrated their plan.

He expressed regret that the former Eghare-Aja had for some time abandoned the community and ran to Warri while Pa. Pender performed his traditional duties.

Pa. Ojogor was alleged to have been whisked away from Ugborodo in a commando-like style by security men in company of some of his children on August 26.
