Delta Community Rejects Alleged Illegal Gazette Altering Oyede Traditional Kingship, Condemns Arrest and Detention of Community Leaders
The Oyede community in Isoko North Local Government Area of Delta State has rejected a controversial 2020 Delta State Government Gazette that altered its traditional kingship succession from the historic Odiologbo title to Ovie. Community members allege the gazette was illegally secured by an influential individual using political connections to impose a preferred candidate, sparking unrest and division. Tensions escalated after several Oyede leaders opposing the change were arrested and remanded in prison despite a formal withdrawal of complaints by accusers. A peace and reconciliation committee later ruled the gazette illegitimate, stating it lacked due process, community consent and legal authority, and warned it has fueled disunity within the kingdom.
