The traditional ruler, who is one of the eight suspects declared wanted by the DHQ on Thursday over alleged connection with the Okuama killings, had surrendered himself to the Delta State Police Command in Asaba on Thursday and was received by the Police Commissioner, CP Abaniwonda Olufemi.

The military authorities were subsequently notified and he was subsequently flown to Abuja Friday morning.
