GOVERNOR DIRI SUSPENDS TRADITIONAL RULER OF SWALI COMMUNITY.

Governor Douye Diri has suspended His Royal Highness Wilcox Seiyefa Job, the Paramount Ruler of Swali Community in Yenagoa Local Government Area.

A statement jointly issued by Hon. Mrs. Ebiuwou Koku-Obiyai, Commissioner for Information, Orientation and Strategy and Chief Thompson Amule, Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs said the suspension takes immediate effect.

The statement noted that the 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.

It added that Mr. Francis Idu, the Commissioner of Police has been directed to declare the two royal sons and all those involved in cultism in Swali wanted and ensure that all those involved are arrested for investigation and prosecution.
