NAN is reporting that a man on Saturday at the JS Tarka Stadium Gboko did the strange and abominable when he sat on the stool  prepared for the coronation of the 5th Tor Tiv, Prof. James Ayatse.

The man identified as Sam Nyitse had outsmarted security men at the Gboko Stadium, to sit  on the seat meant for the new king.

Retired Brig.-Gen. Atom Kpera, the Chairman, Central Planning Committee for the coronation, who was present at the scene, ordered security men to punish Nyitse.

Officials, however, said they would investigate Nyitse’s motive.

Some dignitaries at the scene described his action as “strange and abominable.”
