The people of Agbobiri in Okordia, Yenagoa local government area of Bayelsa state has debunked false news of a magistrate court threatening to upturn the ancestral custom and traditional practice of their chieftaincy stool,where it’s traditional headquarters was wrongly mentioned as a case of over Dethronement ,adding that the case of Agbobiri community has no bearing with Dethronement.<\/p>\n
In a reaction in a press statement signed by the paramount Ruler of Agbobiri community,His Royal Highness Sunday. K. Inebisa said it was a case of alleged criminal matter between Chief Akube and Fakidouma who accused the former of allegedly stealing a property that belonged to the community,positing that Agbobiri community has been living peacefully and had seem less leadership hand over from chief Okoma Akube to chief Patrick Fakidouma.<\/p>\n
He averred that Agbobiri as a community can never be perturbed by mere pronouncement of an English Court representative that has little or no knowledge of their cultural milieu and origins of a sect.<\/p>\n
He further explained that the traditional stool of the clan head of Okordia Kingdom known as the “lbedaowei of Akita” is an elective till death as record of the stool and crown bearer,the stool known as Amanaowei is also an elective position for four years.They migrated from Nembe.
\nWhereas,the clan head position is rotational from community to community ,while the paramount Ruler of Agbobiri is roasted from compound to compound since time immemorial and had created a peaceful coexistence.
\n” Our people have an entrenched mechanism for dispute resolution ,but if is beyond our ,it was taken to the clan head or King”
\nHe said ,”Agbobiri community in Okordia are peace loving people ,until this obnoxious unknown law was introduced and the people cannot afford to witness another era of blood shed, and let it be noted that any institution,group of persons that the court is only planting more seeds of discord among our Agboinbiri community which we resist vehemently”<\/p>\n
” This is because the case in question is a criminal matter between two previous traditional rulers ,which has no bearing with stool dispute .We therefore ,strongly condemned the outcome of the ruling that is anti – Agbobiri in particular and Okordia in general “<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
