Gov Diri of Bayelsa State
Bayelsa Governor, Douye Diri, has approved the suspension of the Paramount Ruler of Swali Community in Yenagoa Local Government Area, HRH Wilcox Seiyefa Job.
The suspension takes immediate effect.
In a statement by the Commissioner for Information, Orientation and Strategy, Mrs. Ebiuwou Koku-Obiyai and the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Chief Thompson Amule, the Governor said the monarch?s suspension was due to his inability to show leadership expected of his position in the fight against crime and cultism.
The statement reads: ?The Monarch?s suspension is due to the traditional ruler?s inability to show leadership expected of his position in the fight against crime and cultism amidst credible intelligence that two of his sons are involved in cult activities in the community.
?The Commissioner of Police has been directed to declare the two royal sons and all those involved in cultism in Swali wanted. All those involved are to be arrested for investigation and prosecution.? (The Nation)
