Delta Council Vice Chairman slumps, dies

The Vice-Chairman of Uvwie Local Government Council in Delta State, Olorogun Daniel Ighedo, slumped and died on Tuesday after months of running battle with the Uvwie monarch.

Ighedo, a native of Ekpan town in Uvwie died on Tuesday after he suddenly slumped and was rushed to the hospital where he was later confirmed dead.

It was hours after he was taken to the hospital that doctors confirmed him dead.

Ighedo was allegedly ostracised by the Uvwie monarch over the crisis surrounding the appointment of Community Liaison Officer (CLO) to a company in the area.

He was ostracised because of a petition he wrote against the revered Ovie of Uvwie Kingdom, HRM Abe 1, to the Nigeria Police Force demanding the arrest and interrogation of the monarch.
