The contestation is on in the kings palace. Okwelu is accused of stealing, an offence that calls for severe punishment. The allegation is still to be substantiated and has been brought to the kings palace for a thorough examination. He is found guilty and judgment rendered: that he be buried alive in the evil forest. Such an untenable and garrulous punishment shifts the lineage of kingship and nurtures the conditions for deep acrimonies.
