The Otota of Okere Urhobo Kingdom High Chief ( retired Brigadier General ) Gold Eburu has demanded for the correction of the name of the Orosuen of Okere Urhobo Kingdom by Vanguard Newspaper
The respected retired Nigerian Army General made the demand in a press statement in Warri as he observed that the names and titles of his traditional ruler were wrongly written as HRM King Ochuko Oyekpemi, Okpotiomu II of Odomusobo Kingdom in a photo news on page 5, Vanguard issue of Thursday 22nd February 2024.
Eburu further stated that the errors appear deliberate and mischievous on the part of the photo journalists that captured the event which was the commissioning of the cottage hospital built by Warri South Local Government Council.
He noted that the names and titles of the reverred Traditional Ruler were mentioned severally by the Master of Ceremonies who covered the event. “ Even if he ( the photo journalist ) was not sure, he should have asked as the ethics of journalism demand. What about the editorial team.” He also noted that Vanguard had made many publications about the kingdom in recent time to allow such embarrassing slip.
Eburu therefore demands that Vanguard should repeat the same news in another publication as soon as possible with the correct names and titles, HRM Ogheneochuko Morris Eyekpimi-Egbobonye, Owhotemu II, Orosuen of Okere Urhobo Kingdom Warri.
