Delta Monarch Demands Investigation into Ritual Killing

His Royal Majesty Dr. E. O. Efeizomor II of Owa Kingdom condemned the alleged ritual killing of seven-year-old Master Ifeanyi Progress, which occurred in Owa Alero on November 23, 2024.

He described the incident as a painful tragedy that has deeply affected the family and the community. The monarch called for a thorough investigation by the Nigeria Police Force and other relevant security agencies to identify and prosecute those responsible, emphasizing that no one is above the law.

Allegations suggest that Master Ifeanyi was lured from his home by Destiny Lawrence, also known as “Samanja,” at the request of Onyeka, a native doctor from Idumuesah. It is further alleged that another suspect, Jonah from Otolokpo, killed the child and drained his blood for ritual purposes.

Dr. Efeizomor II urged the community to remain calm and avoid any form of violence or revenge, asserting that Owa Kingdom does not condone such acts and expressing condolences to the deceased's family.
