The first son of the late Obi of Issele-Ukwu, Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State, Nduka Ezeagwuna, 20 years old, has been crowned by the community’s kingmakers.
Nduka who is a 300 level Chemical Engineering student of the University of Ibadan, is however, said to be regretting his inability to celebrate with his father, Henry Ezeagwuna, who was due to celebrate his birthday on August 28, 2014.
The Obi , who died in an auto crash along with Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan’s aide Sunny Ofili, at the weekend, was already distributing invitation cards for the birthday ceremony to well wishers before the tragic accident.
The accident victims were burnt to death, as the Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) driven by the monarch burst into flames after hitting a truck laden with granite stones (Edo FUG 238 XA) from the rear at Otulu Junction on the Benin-Asaba- Onitsha expressway.
Eyewitness account said following the accident, the rear tyros of the truck were deflated and the SUV burnt beyond recognition.
Sunny Ofili, on his part, was said to have been assured by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the monarch and delegates alike of representing Aniocha North state constituency in 2015, just as everything has been provided by the decease to clinch the position.
The Onishe of Issele-Ukwu, a retired judge, Justice Azomani, performed the traditional rites of sitting the young Nduka on the thrown awaiting full coronation later.
