A statement by Prince George Okwumbu, Spokesperson to the Monarch said the visit was largely successful and the Obi met members of the community, prayed with them and discussed with them about the issues.
Part of the statement sais: “At the end of the visit and when the Obi was departing, cultists and thugs imported into Otulu who was aware of the visit attacked members of the entourage who were at the rear of the convoy. The thugs also attempted to forcefully seize a gun belonging to a law enforcement member who escorted the Obi on the visit.
