Tension in Agbor kingdom as King reportedly marries white woman
Category: Nigerian National News
According
to Leadership Newspaper, the Agbor kingdom in Delta state is currently in a state
of confusion after their 37 year old King, the Dein of Agbor, Benjamin Ikechukwu
Kiagborekuzi I, secretly married a white woman, a decision said to
be unacceptable by his people who expected him to marry an Agbor
woman.
The
Dein who was crowned King when he was just two and a half years old in
1979 following the death of his father, had
all his education abroad. He returned to Nigeria in 2001 after
completing all his studies to assume the throne as king and has been
ruling his kingdom since without a Queen.
Looks like he found love while he was abroad and decided to settle down with her.
A
highly respected palace Chief, Alika (surname withheld) told Leadership
newspapers that the ruling palace council had insisted that he gets
married to a Nigerian woman from Agbor kingdom according to the
tradition but appears their king called their bluff and married the white woman,
a decision seen as a taboo.
