Obateru Akinruntan, CON.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking through the Secretary of the Kingdom, Chief I. A. Demehim,<br \/>\nthe Olugbo-in-Council, asserts that the reported arrest of the Highly<br \/>\nRevered Monarch, who is the Paramount Ruler and Prescribed Authority<br \/>\nof Ugboland as well as Founder of the Multi-Billion Dollar Obat Group<br \/>\nis completely false.<\/p>\n<p>According to High Chief Isaiah Demehin, \u201cthe news report by Sahara<br \/>\nReporters which is also being peddled by several soft sell bloggers<br \/>\nthat Kabiyesi was arrested by EFCC for Money Laundering is not only<br \/>\nlaughable and false but also a sacrilege to the traditional stool of<br \/>\nour land. The Olugbo is domiciled in Ugbo, and Kabiyesi was dutifully<br \/>\nattending to traditional matters as well as the needs of his subjects<br \/>\n<span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_106715859\"><span class=\"aQJ\">on Friday<\/span><\/span>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Chief Isaiah Demehin stated that it is pitiful that such<br \/>\na blog as widespread as Sahara Reporters would tell a lie against a<br \/>\nMonarch while throwing away all ethics which places the onus on them<br \/>\nto confirm from the Palace of the Olugbo which is always filled with<br \/>\nthrongs of people and activities which the Olugbo presides upon by<br \/>\nhimself or cross check their write up with the EFCC as a mark of<br \/>\nprofessionalism.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, he stated, \u201cI wish to advise our journalists to always<br \/>\ncross-check their facts and stop embarrassing innocent persons. It is<br \/>\nespecially sad that any journalist would embark on a path to destroy<br \/>\nthe great image of Nigeria\u2019s Doyen of Industry who has contributed<br \/>\nimmensely to the socio economic and human capital development of<br \/>\nNigeria.<\/p>\n<p>Our Monarch is a great father and would not join issues with any media<br \/>\nhouse, however, I think it is dutiful of any journalist that is sound<br \/>\nto learn how to accord honour to revered traditional stools, and avoid<br \/>\nbeing used by disgruntled persons to tarnish the images of global<br \/>\nicons as the Billionaire Monarch whose business conglomerates have<br \/>\ntransformed Ugboland and Nigeria as a whole.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Olugbo-in-Council which is the Highest Traditional Body of Ugboland in Ilaje Local Government Area of Ondo State have debunked rumours of the arrest of the Olugbo of Ugboland, His&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":46661,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-46660","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
