By Samuel Oyadongha
Bayelsa State Governor Douye Diri has approved the removal of the suspended paramount ruler of Swali Community, His Highness, Chief Wilcox Job Seiyefa, from his Ebeniken chieftaincy throne.
Governor Diri, who made the announcement through his deputy, Dr Peter Akpe, during a meeting with stakeholders of Swali Community in Government House, Yenagoa, on Tuesday, said the removal of the paramount ruler was based on recommendations from a fact-finding committee.
A statement by the Senior Special Assistant on Media to the Deputy Governor, Mr Doubara Atasi, recalled that the dethroned Ebeniken, alongside his Council of Chiefs, was suspended by the state government on the 21st of May, 2025 following allegations bordering on aiding and abetting insecurity in Swali Community.
