Ogiame Atuwatse III

Ogiame Atuwatse III (born 2 April 1984) is a Nigerian traditional king of the Kingdom of Warri in the Delta State.

He obtained a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies and Political Science from Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, USA in 2006.

[10] He has been married to Olori Ivie Atuwatse III, the daughter of late Nigerian billionaire businessman Hosa Wells Okunbo, since 2014.

In a controversial act, the then Ologbotsere, Ayiri Emami, tore the letter, an action perceived as an insult to both the Warri Royal Family and the Itsekiri people.

This claim sparked conflict, as many Itsekiri people considered the edict to be foreign to their identity, asserting their unity by blood and roots with the Yoruba.

[15] In response to Emami's claims that the council lacked the authority to suspend him, asserting that only a sitting Olu could do so, the chiefs of Warri kingdom proceeded with their plans.

Following the announcement of the death of Olu Ikenwoli, Prince Tsola Emiko was declared the Olu-designate by the Iyatsere, who serves as the second-in-command after the Ologbotsere.

[17] In October 2022, a Nigerian national honor of Commander of the Order of the Federal Republic (CFR) was conferred on him by President Muhammadu Buhari.
