ASABA — POLICE in Delta State, yesterday, declared His Royal Majesty, Nzefili Nwadukwe, reportedly crowned as king of Abala‑Obodo, Ndokwa East Local Government Area wanted. He was crowned by a section of the community, last month.

State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ikechukwu Aduba, in a statement, said: “Delta State Police Command takes exception to the incident of April 5, 2014, when one Nzefili Nwadukwe was illegally crowned as king against the existence of a government recognised king.

“This illegal coronation was done in flagrant contravention of existing law banning the creation of parallel monarch in any community. Nzefili Nwadukwe is by this publication declared wanted and will be hunted down to face the full wrath of the law.”

Aduba warned those planning to usurp government recognised monarchy in contravention of the law to have a rethink and follow due process, as the police would not fold their hands and watch them breach the law.
