Oba of Benin, Omo NOba NEdo Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Ewuare II
The Oba of Benin, Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Ewuare II, has suspended the Enogie (Duke) of Uhogua village in Ovia Northeast local government area of Edo state, Osagumwenro Eki Eresoyen.
The first-class monarch, on Thursday, November 23, in a press statement by his chief press secretary, Osaigbovo Iguobaro, passed a vote of no confidence in Eresoyen, thereby shoving him aside after reviewing allegations of misconduct and dereliction of duties against him.
The eminent traditional ruler consequently directed Ozukpogieva (the second most elderly man) in the village, Omonuwa Moses, with the support of other elders, including Ohen-Ovia (priest), Festus Omorefe; the Ozukpogieha (third most elderly man), Isaac Osayande; and the Ozukpogiene (fourth most elderly man), Samuel Imaruagheru; as well as the Okaighele of Uhogua, John Ohiegbomwan, to administer the village on his behalf, pending the appointment of Odionwere (village head), in due course.
Oba of Benin also enjoined the village elders, who had sought his intervention to deliver them from the jaws of their oppressors, to make peace and be law-abiding in discharging their duties, for the overall development of the area, in line with Benin customs and tradition. (The Nation)
