HRM Benjamin Ikechukwu Keagborekuzi 1, is the present Monarch of Agbor Kingdom, Delta State, Nigeria.

HRM Benjamin Ikechukwu (Born 29/06/1977) set a world record as the youngest monarch in the entire universe at his installation in 1979, at a mere 28 months.

The young Monarch was taken outside the shores of the country for his education.

He attended Catholics of Kent, The College Bearwood in Survey, College of San Benedict, Ealing & the Birbeck College in London.

Keagorekuzi 1 of Agbor was installed in October, 1979 after his father, Dein Ikechukwu, died in 1979 who reigned for 11 years.

Keagborekuzi is one of Nigeria’s most exposed kings, in terms of trans-cultural interaction, liaison and activism.

He has been guest of honour/ guest speaker, Belgium King’s Day celebrations; guest of honour at Spanish Day celebrations and Guest of the German Embassy, during the visit of the German Chancellor to Nigeria. He was also one of the monarchs invited by the Federal Government to receive the Queen of England during her visit to Nigeria. He is an Officer in The Order of Belgium. His Majesty has also been invited to many African and European nations.

Former Nigerian Presidency under Olusegun Obasanjo named him the Chancellor of a University, thus making him, at 29, the youngest Chancellor of any university – public or private-in all of Africa.

As if to consolidate his all-round appeal and relevance, the Delta State government once named him Vice-Chairman, Delta State Traditional Rulers’ Council, thus becoming, at his age, the youngest traditional ruler to hold such a position.

The Dein of Agbor, Benjamin Ikechukwu Kiagborekuzi I, secretly married a white woman, a decision said to be unacceptable by his people who expected him to marry an Agbor woman.
