ABOMINATION AS MAN SITS ON TOR TIV’S THRONE AHEAD OF CORONATION AND CLAIMS GOD SENT HIM

Speaking to security personnel under interrogation, Mr. Nyitse said he was prompted by God to cleanse the stool for the new king. “I sat on the stool in order to cleanse it and make it comfortable for the incoming Tor Tiv,” he said.

Atom Kpera, the chairman, Central Planning Committee for the coronation, who was present at the scene, ordered security men to take him outside and punish him. Officials, however, said they would investigate the motive behind the act. Some respondents described the act as “strange and abominable."
