Oba of Kabba not dead – Council member

 

Prince Johnson Arokoyo, a legal practitioner and member of the Obaro Traditional Council in Kogi, has dismissed rumours of the death of Obaro of Kabba, Oba Michael Olobayo.
Arokoyo, who spoke on behalf of the council, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Lokoja that the Obaro “is hale and hearty.’’
He however acknowledged that the Obaro was “a little bit ill” but not dead.
Arokoyo described those spreading the rumour as malicious and mischievous, who did not want the peace and prosperity of Kabba kingdom.

According to him, he had met and discussed with the Oba on Wednesday, May 18, over issues affecting the community.

“If the Obaro was really dead won’t we the council of chiefs and families have notified the state and local government?’’
Arokoyo assured that the Oba would soon return after his treatment, adding that the date for the return would be communicated to the entire community soon.
