The Attah of Igala, Alhaji Aliyu Obaje, the highest-ranked
traditional ruler within the Igala ethnic group largely in the central
Nigerian State of Kogi, has died.
His death was announced by the Kogi State government in Lokoja today, and thousands of people have been trooping to the palace.
Alhaji Obaje, who had been on the throne for over five decades, was
also
one of the longest serving monarchs in the country. He was
turbaned in 1956.
