15-Year-Old Crowned King in Delta

Chukwuka Noah Akaeze, the 15-year-old son of late Obi Akaeze Edward Ofulue III who was kidnapped and subsequently murdered last month by gun­men, has been presented to the people of Ubulu-Uku Kingdom in Aniocha South Local Government Area of Delta State as their new king.

Describing the development as ‘wonderful in our time’, Secretary of the Palace, Barr. Joseph Obazei, told Saturday Sun,

“This is a young man who was not even looking up to this position because his father was young and vibrant, unfortunately this bad event occurred. He has now been thrust upon the throne taking up the mantle of his late father. Ubulu-Uku people are very happy that somebody has taken up the throne because the king never dies.
When it appears that there is no king, there is already a king. That is what has just happened…So this young man has taken over the stool of his father, and now he can begin to direct the town.”
