Tension and high drama enveloped Agbarho community in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State this morning following the sacking of the community’s paramount ruler, King Samson Oghugunwa, by youths believed to be his subjects.
The restive youths were said to have laid siege to the monarch’s residence to press for his sack.
A source said that the youths’ action had to do with a lingering crisis in the community arising from the perceived traditional ruler’s style of leadership which does not sit well with some of his subjects.
