The traditional ruler of Abavo Kingdom, HRM, Uche Irenuwa
was penultimate week accused of an alleged manslaughter attempt on the life of
his subject.
Report has it that on April 24, 2013, the young man, Mr. Boi
Chuks, whose full body and lacerated right limb is seen on the bed in the
picture below, were attacked without provocation in a local restaurant where they
had gone to eat following their return from the court session at Agbor on that
same day by a group of some heavily armed thugs attached to His Royal Highness.
Our source informed us that while others in the company of
Mr. Chuks were able to escape, he was over powered and pinned down by these
thugs, beaten with clubs and Iron bars, dragged outside and had his right leg
run over with a Toyota Camry car belonging to the Traditional ruler
Mr. Chuks Boi who spoke to us on his hospital bed at the
Central Hospital in Agbor, said that, on Wednesday April 24, at about 12pm he
was hungry and decided to take his lunch at Galaxy II Restaurant along Palace
Road Abavo. “In the course of taking my launch, some group of persons came to
where we were, I didn’t notice because I was backing the road, people started
running away. I saw some boys and the person leading them was Amos aka CSO and
they used one of the cars in their proccession to crush my leg”. Mr. Chuks
further stated that the Camry Car had no registration number but “His Royal
Highness “ was written on the registration plate. He noted that among the boys
who accousted him were Amos, Bobo, Osakwe, Ojei. He said that he was being
accused of trying to assassinate HRM Uche Irenuwa.
The owner of Galaxy II restaurant, Mr. Sunday Agholor said
he was selling when suddenly some boys came and attacked his customers that
were eating. He noted that one was caught and put in a car, and that in the
process of trying to apprehend the second person, who was struggling, the tyre
of the vehicle climbed his leg.
Mr. Agholor, told Delta Decides that he has locked up his
shop and left, but that some group of boys went ahead and destroyed it.
The Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in charge of Abavo
Police Station, DSP Valentine Mbalu, when contacted, said he would not comment
because the case has been transferred to the Police Headquarters, Asaba while
HRM, Uche Irenuwa could not be reached as he was not picking his mobile phones
and an SMS was sent instead was not responded to.
