According to the deputy head of the Ologo Family, Mr Divine Ologo, the circumstances under which the remains of the late chief were removed from the tomb have made them suspicious of the police.
That, he explained, was because the desecration of the tomb occurred shortly after there was an increased police presence.
He therefore called for circumspection and thoroughness in the investigations to win back the confidence of the people.
Mr Ologo said the return of the late chief’s body would bring about total peace to the traditional area.
Calm restored
During a visit to Somanya yesterday, it was seen that calm had returned to the town with many people going about their normal duties.
It followed a weekend of protests by some residents after news broke last Friday about the desecration and looting of the late Nene Ologo’s tomb.
During a visit by the Daily Graphic to Somanya and Sra, a suburb of Somanya where the palace is located, the place was found to be calm with people trooping in and out of the palace without any form of threat.
