The Traditional ruler of Ogbosinne Autonomous Community in Enugu State, Igwe Stephen Nwatu, has reportedly been beaten to death by his subjects.

The Nation reports that Igwe Nwatu met his untimely death while trying to prevent them from attending a meeting Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi on Monday afternoon, June 11, 2018.

According to the reports, the Monarch allegedly ordered his driver to run down those involved but his driver refused, but mistakenly knocked down an elderly man, breaking his legs in his attempt to reverse.

The subjects, angered by the tragic occurrence, reportedly attacked Igwe Nwatu, giving him the beating of his life.

Although he was later rushed to Enugu State University Teaching Hospital, (ESUTH) Parklane, he later died there.

While confirming the incident, the spokesman of Enugu State Police Command, Superintendent Ebere Amaraizu, noted that no arrest has been made.

Guess the 'gods' were sleeping while this happened!

I don't know the real gist but the Igwe here asked for it.

Carry ur Subjects along in ur doings, they'll not hear.
Why must he prevent his subjects from meeting with the Gov'nor, it's like he had an interior perharps selfish motives, unfortunately this has led to his long awaited but untimely visit to his ancestors, &they'll be happy to welcome him with open arms with fun fare in other side.

While preparation will be in top gear for his funeral &subsequently coronation ceremony will be arranged for the next Igwe nominee.
