The Oba also stripped the leader of the Isikhuan group, Juliet Omogui, of her traditional title, Okao.
Trouble reportedly began when the Isikhuan singers performed a sacred Benin ritual that’s strictly reserved for the Oba.
The performance was at the residence of Chief Gabriel Osawaru Igbinedion, the Esama of Benin, instead of the palace.
The suspension was made public by Chief Osaro Idah, Obazelu of Benin, at a Sunday emergency meeting in the palace, and members of the group were also given time to explain their involvement in the controversial performance.

Battle of the traditional rulers
ReplyDeleteYou know the drill
DeleteWhich traditional rulers? Igbinedion is just a chief (Esama) under the Oba of Benin. But he uses money on some hungry Binis to usurp the powers of the Oba
Delete18:43 you got that right. ๐๐พ
DeleteThe Oba of Benin did well. He should even permanently expel the culprits.
People should learn to be responsible and accountable for their assigned roles and duties.
Obedience is better than sacrifice.
