Delta State has been thrown into mourning as Asagba, Cairo join their Ancestors.
The Asagba of Asaba, Professor Chike Edozien, has said goodbye to the people of Asaba. The popular and renowed professor of medicine joined his ancestors yesterday afternoon, the February 7th, 2024, at a riped age of almost a century.
The Asagba would be remembered for adding colours to the traditional institutions.
He had travelled both far and near. He was sometime the leader of Delta State traditional rulers and before his demise a leader of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide. He was an accomplished son of Asaba and Nigeria in general.
Years and months back before his death it was severally rumored that he was dead but only to be confirmed he was alive.
Presently, his death has not been announced publicly by the palace, but the Asaba indigenes both home and abroad were already wearing a mourning face.
As a traditional ruler, his death would take few days to be announced by the palace. All that could be said now is that the Asagba is still alive, only that they are searching for the (Agu) lion that has entered the forest.
It is a fact that his death might cause an irreplaceable vacuum in Asaba traditional kingdom because his shoes would be too big for his successor to put on.
