The Police in Delta State, weekend, stormed the coronation ceremony of a parallel Ovie (traditional) ruler of Ughevughe community in Ughelli South Local Government Area and halted the ceremony, during which the supposed king, Felix Ofulu, fled the community.

Vanguard gathered that police officers from Otu Jeremi Police Division stormed the venue of the coronation and arrested two persons, Meshack Ukperi and Appeal Sikoho in connection with the alleged illegal ceremony.
