Ikolo Clement, the King of Ewu kingdom, has turned himself in to authorities.
He is one of the individuals who had been listed as wanted by the Nigerian military in a list released by the Defense Headquarters on Thursday.
Clement was recently appointed as the traditional ruler of Ewu Kingdom in the Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State.
The DHQ listed him as one of the eight suspects sought by the Nigerian Army over the death of 17 soldiers killed in Delta State.
Others on the list are, the president-general of Ewu, Prof Ekpekpo Arthur, and Reuben Baru, who gained notoriety for a viral video where he explained the reasons behind the soldiers’ killings.
There is speculation that Igoli Ebi, possibly the mother of one of the suspects, is linked to the case. Additionally, Atata Malaw David and Sinclear Oliki are believed to be associated with the Amagbein group.
Also on the wanted list is, suspected militant leader named Akevwru Daniel Omotegbono, also known as Amagbein. Soldiers had tracked him to the Igbomoturu community in the Southern-Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, shortly after the incident, but he managed to evade capture.
