•14 native cows, tortoise, sheep, goats, cocks demanded from PolicePalpable fear has gripped the residents of Benin city following the arrest last Wednesday of the Chief Priest of Okhuaihe shrine, Osarodion Usuanlele, the Ohen N’ Ukoni Neyedo by the police who detained him at the Edo State Police headquarters in Benin city. This was against the tradition and customs of Benin Kingdom that forbid the Priest from setting his foot on the city during the reign of an Oba.

Trouble started last Wednesday when operatives of the anti-cultism unit, Edo State Command of the Nigeria Police reportedly stormed Evbiekoi community following a petition by one man said to be an ex-official of the banned Community Development Association and arrested the Chief Priest. According to some elders in the kingdom, the unusual arrest of the priest was responsible for the unusual rain that fell on that day accompanied by serious lightning and thunder. They claimed that the way lightning and thunder struck on that fateful day was unusual in this early period of the rainy season and that was the first indication that something was wrong in the kingdom.

Briefing reporters on the incident, Secretary of Evbiekoi community, Chief Paul Ajayi said: “The policemen shot sporadically and insisted on taking Chief Priest Usunalele to Benin City, despite pleas that the man does not enter Benin or he would die. A strange and mysterious downpour, accompanied by violent wind, thunder and lightning, were part of the signs of desecration.
