In a somber moment for the Igbo community and Delta State, Her Royal Majesty, Obi Martha Dunkwu, the revered Omu of Okpanam, has departed from this world, leaving behind a legacy of unwavering dedication to Igbo traditions, culture, and heritage.
The Omu of Okpanam, a title held by only a few women in present-day Igboland, was a beacon of wisdom and guidance, serving as a guardian of tradition and a passionate advocate for her community.
Her lifetime commitment to preserving Anioma land’s rich heritage and customs will forever be etched in history.
This loss comes on the heels of another monarch’s passing, the Asagba of Asaba, Chike Edozien, who passed away a few weeks ago.
Details of her funeral and funeral rites will be announced in due course, as the Igbo community and Delta State prepare to bid farewell to a beloved matriarch and cultural icon.
