The 13th Asagba of Asaba, Obi (Prof) Chike Edozien, has been confirmed dead as the tradition of the Asaba kingdom demands.
The news of his passing was officially broken at the palace by the Onihe of Asaba, Chief Ubaka Atu, who is the leader of the Ogbu group, before a press release signed by Dr. Anthony Onuoha Edozien and the Palace Secretary, Chief Patrick Ndili, was issued to that effect.
Asagba (Prof) Chike Edozien, who would have turned 100 years of age in July this year, ascended the throne on July 1, 1991.
He was a first class traditional ruler, a professor of Anatomy and the oldest professor of medicine in Africa.
