The late traditional ruler, a retired Assistant Commissioner of Police, was crowned on 20 May 2023 but passed in July 2025 after a brief two-year reign—the shortest in the history of the Olomu Kingdom.
Following the completion of traditional rites, Akpomudje, being the next in command, ascends the throne in accordance with the customs of the Olomu people.
The incoming traditional ruler, a respected lawyer and Worldwide President of the Government College Ughelli Old Boys’ Association (GCUOBA), hails from Akperhe-Olomu, a community under the Eyavwien Ruling House.
In a statement issued by the Secretary of the Olomu Kingdom Traditional Council (OKTC), Olorogun John Ewenede, the people of the kingdom invited the general public to join them in celebrating the historic coronation.
As preparations intensify, the atmosphere across the Olomu Kingdom is charged with excitement.
Stonix News gathered that the kingdom is already agog with cultural drums, dances, and decorations taking over the communities as indigenes and guests eagerly await the royal procession that will usher in a new era of leadership.
