Okpella’s Moment: Action Over Statements After Ukhomunyio Tragedy

The recent violence in Ukhomunyio has left families grieving and children abducted. Cash rewards announced now feel like locking the door after the thieves have gone. Our leaders must shift from blame to bold action. Early funding of our local vigilantes, better patrols and stronger police partnerships could have prevented more tragedy. All contestants for the Okpella traditional stool and their backers should accept the reigning king, HRM Michael O. Sado. Unity under his leadership is vital for our peace and progress. Mourning alone paves the way for the next funeral. Let’s invest in protection, jobs and youth engagement now—so violence won’t seem like the only option.
