Okonjo-Iweala’s brother, Obi of Ogwashi-Uku’s convoy attacked in Delta 

The convoy of Obi of Ogwashi-Uku, HRM Obi Ifechukwude Aninshi Okonjo II, and brother of former Nigerian Minister of Finance and current Director-General of World Trade Organization (WTO), Dr Mrs Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, was, on Friday, attacked by hoodlums in Delta State. 

The traditional ruler was reportedly returning from a visit to Otulu Ogwashiku-Uku, where he had gone to offer prayers with his chiefs when the hoodlums swooped on his convoy. 

Reasons for the attack were yet to be ascertained as of the time of filing the report. 

But a statement from the palace of the Obi signed by his spokesperson, Prince Greg Okwumbu, said the hoodlums also attempted to forcefully seize a gun belonging to a law enforcement agent who was among the Obi’s escort during the visit.

“At the end of the visit when the Obi was departing, cultists and thugs imported into Otulu, who were aware of the visit, attacked members of the entourage who were at the rear of the convoy. 

“It is important to note that members of the press accompanied the Obi on the visit. 

“Also law enforcement agents from the Office of the Area Commander and the Brigade Command in Asaba were also there at the visit and witnessed everything that happened.

“The people who sponsored the thugs are known to us and will be brought to Justice,” Prince Okwumbu disclosed. 

He, however, described the visit to Otulu Ogwashi-Uku “as largely successful and the Obi met members of the community, prayed with them and discussed issues with them.”
