Angry Aghoro ll Community has issued Bayelsa state government 14 days ultimatum to present staff of office to HRH Afro Biukeme as the Highness of the community.

The protesters accused Bayelsa state government, especially the deputy governor, His Excellency senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo of alleged moves to impose the dethroned highness on the community.

The protesting Chiefs, elders, women and youths said they have crowned HRH Afro Biukeme as their new monarch and that any attempt to upturn it would be bloody.

The community stated that they were running out of patience and that the delay of the Bayelsa state government to make public the enquiry report was suspicious, stating that such moves could incite violence and break down of law and order.

The aggrieved leaders, elders and youths of the community said it was within their rights to decide who should rule them and not within the powers of Bayelsa State Government to impose dethroned highness, Ojukonsin Obiriki on them, adding that the Deputy governor, His Excellency senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo
and Hon. Fred Agbedi should tread with caution.
