Menu Chief Warrior Of Asaba Collapses, D!es At The 70th Birthday Celebration Of Delta Monarch, Azinge Posted by Samuel on Fri 14th Nov, 2025 – tori.ng Share this news: Earlier, Delta State Governor, Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, had described the revered monarch’s reign as one of peace and humility. Guests were thrown into shock on Thursday during the reception celebrating the 70th birthday of the Asagba of Asaba, Obi Epiphany Azinge, SAN, when the Odogwu (Chief Warrior) of Asaba, Obi Nwanze Oduah, collapsed and reportedly d!ed. According to an eyewitness, “Oduah suddenly collapsed at the reception ground, causing panic among guests and dignitaries present at the event.” The sad incident has sent shock waves across the length and breadth of the state capital. “He was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital but was unfortunately confirmed de@d by doctors shortly after his arrival,” said the witness. As at the time of this report, details of the de@th are still sketchy. Earlier, Delta State Governor, Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, had described the revered monarch’s reign as one of peace and humility. He congratulated the Asagba of Asaba, His Royal Majesty, Obi (Prof.) Epiphany Azinge, on his 70th birth anniversary at the thanksgiving Mass held at Saint Patrick’s Catholic Church, West-End, Asaba, to mark the royal father’s platinum jubilee, saying the Asagba’s life is a shining testament to wisdom, integrity, and purpose. “I am very happy for this celebration because it is important that when God takes you to a particular level in life, you come back to appreciate Him. This thanksgiving is special because it is not just another birthday; it is an offering of gratitude for seventy years of divine mercy, strength, and grace.” The Governor said it was good for the Asagba to return thanks to God for His grace and faithfulness, having attained the biblical age of three score and ten in strength and sound health. He extolled the life and leadership of the monarch, noting that his reign had been marked by peace, humility, and understanding. Quoting Proverbs 16:31, the Governor described the monarch’s gray hair as “a crown of glory gained through a righteous life,” and prayed that God would continue to grant him strength, wisdom, and long life. Earlier in his homily, the Catholic Archbishop Emeritus of Abuja, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, described the occasion as a moment of thanksgiving and reflection on a life devoted to God and humanity. Drawing his message from Psalm 90, the Cardinal said, “The Bible reminds us that seventy is the sum of our years. It is a time to look back with gratitude and look forward with faith.” He lauded the Asagba for his steadfast faith, wisdom, and compassion, calling him “a true monarch who has served God and humanity with love, integrity, and commitment.” Share this news: Discover more Event Coverage Weird news merchandise Addiction recovery programs Cryptocurrency trading platforms Celebrity Gossip Security system installations Business Insights Sporting event tickets News Subscription Service Technology Reviews Recent News Heartbroken Nigerian Dad Accuses Abuja Hospital Staff Of K!lling His Newborn Baby Over An Unpaid Bill (Video) Published on Fri 14th Nov, 2025 Blatant Lie, Concoction By Mischief Makers – Plateau Govt On Mutfwang’s Alleged Defection Published on Fri 14th Nov, 2025 Leo Dasilva Slams Troll for Belittling Wife Maryam, Reveals She Has Two Master’s Degrees Published on Fri 14th Nov, 2025 Men Don’t Marry Who They Love – Yhemolee’s Ex-lover, Bibi Published on Fri 14th Nov, 2025 BREAKING: Nigerian Filling Stations Reduce Fuel Price After 15% Import Duty Suspension Published on Fri 14th Nov, 2025 Latest News Nigerian Singer, Ayra Starr Storms Accra To Headline Tidal Rave Beach Festival (Video) Published on Fri 14th Nov, 2025 Christian Genocide: ‘I’m Cool As Cucumber’ – Tuggar Replies Piers Morgan On Panicking About His Interview Published on Fri 14th Nov, 2025 2026 WWC Playoffs: Nigeria vs DR Congo – Preview, Date, Time, Where To Watch Published on Fri 14th Nov, 2025 BBC Apologizes to Trump Over Edited Video Published on Fri 14th Nov, 2025 TCN Announces 3-Day Power Outage in Lagos Published on Fri 14th Nov, 2025 Why Treasonable Charges Against Kanu Are Null And Void – Bishop Udeh Published on Fri 14th Nov, 2025 I’m Taking Care of My Mother – BBNaija Season 10 Winner Imisi Reacts To Accusations Published on Fri 14th Nov, 2025 He’s Trying to Use 11 Microphones to Deny What He Said With No Microphone – Dino Melaye Mocks Wike Published on Fri 14th Nov, 2025 WCQ: Osimhen Opens Up On Bonus Row Between Super Eagles, NFF Published on Fri 14th Nov, 2025 Nnamdi Kanu Files N550million Suit Against Nigerian Medical Association Over Alleged Forged Report Published on Fri 14th Nov, 2025 Pandemonium As Stampede At The Residence Of Minister Of Defence, Matawalle Leaves One Dead, Six Injured Published on Fri 14th Nov, 2025 How Two Nigerians Were Nabbed, Jailed For Using Forged Documents To Obtain Ghana Card Published on Fri 14th Nov, 2025 Donald Trump’s Intervention Will Be Messy, Powerful People Are Behind K!llings – Pastor Sam Adeyemi Published on Fri 14th Nov, 2025 Diana Eneje Cries Out After Painter Drinks N950K Wine, Hides Bottle In Her Wardrobe Published on Fri 14th Nov, 2025 15% Import Duty on Petrol Would Have Increased Petrol Price by N130/Litre – PENGASSAN Published on Fri 14th Nov, 2025 0 1 2 Older » Popular News The Shocking Story Of Abortion Doctor Who Kept Foetuses Of 2,400 Babies In His Home And Car Ikebe Super!
