After meeting with billionaire businessman Ayiri Emami, the Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse III, stripped him of his title as Ologbotsere of the kingdom.
Sunday, April 16, 2023, the Olu bestowed the Ologbotsere title to Chief Eyuoma. In August 2021, Ayiri objected to Olu’s coronation, which resulted in his disrobing and exile from the palace.
Through the help of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor and others, the Olu had lately began peace discussions with Ayiri. The King met with Ayiri on April 14 and then called a meeting on Sunday to resolve the situation. Ayiri apologized and requested forgiveness from the Olu, which he received.
The Olu offered Ayiri his father’s title of Ayeku of Warri, which Ayiri declined and left the palace. The Olu then installed Chief Oma Eyewuoma as the kingdom’s new Ologbotsere, praising Ayiri for his accomplishments and requesting that he depart the palace.
