Olu of Warri, Ikenwoli Godfrey Emiko, has died of COVID-19, according to SaharaReporters.

The monarch reportedly died yesterday morning, barely a week after his fifth coronation anniversary.

He was said to have met with the late Major General John Irefin, who died earlier this month from COVID-19 complications.

The medium quoted a palace chief who confirmed the development as saying, “Olu of Warri is dead but the palace chiefs are trying to keep the information hidden from the public till they are sure the time is right.”

The late monarch, who was born on March 19, 1955, ascended the throne on December 12, 2015.
