I never authorised arrest of Benin Kingdom Chief Priest – Edo CP

The Edo Commissioner of Police Mohammed DanMallam has said that the command never authorised the arrest of the Chief Priest of Okhuaihe Shrine, Osarodion Usuanlele, the Ohen Nu Koni Evbuekoi of the Benin kingdom.

The detention of the priest in Benin is viewed in the kingdom as a taboo, because it broke an age long tradition which prevented the Ohen N’ UKoni from entering Benin, the abode of the Oba.Police parade suspected robbers, kidnappers DanMallam said that it was a sad development that the indigenous people who were conversant with the traditions were the same people who tried to mess it up.

“Benin kingdom is one of the oldest kingdoms and we have high regards for the kingdom and will not allow anybody to come and mess the tradition up,” he said.

Tell d CP that u dont look for trouble in Benin especially a chief in Benin kingdom... their wahala na physical nd spiritual oo

This CP should be careful except you from Edo State. Those folks don't joke.

But he has been arrested anyway. The consequences and outcome is what we await.
