Benin United Forum(BUF), a socio-political group, has appealed to the Oba of Benin, HRM Omo N’Oba N’Edo, Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Ewuare 11, to intervene in the cult war ongoing in the Edo State capital.
In a Press Statement signed by its President Iyamu Osaro Culture and Secretary, General Osayuki-Osa Benson, BUF went down memory lane.
“It could be recalled that when human trafficking in Edo State assumed global embarrassment, our God’s King, Omo N’ Oba N’ Edo, Uku Akpolo Kpolo, Oba Ewuare II, proactively intervened by invoking curse(s) on those who were involved in such dastardly and inhuman act which saw the end of the menace.
“Thus, this milestone attracted the influx of international financial aid to Edo State Government under the outgoing Godwin Obaseki who took the remittance and glory to himself without recourse to our revered Palace that made it possible.”
According to the BUF, “in view of the aforementioned, we want to humbly appeal to our God’s King, Omo N’ Oba N’ Edo, Uku Akpolo Kpolo Oba Ewuare II, CFR to direct our Ohens(Chief Priests) across the length and breath of Benin Kingdom to immediately place curse(s) on those who are hiding under Cultism to kill themselves in some part of Benin City which has consumed the lives of countless youths especially at Upper Sakponba axis which is often seen as the center ground for the barbaric act, followed by Egor/Uwelu, Ugbowo/Uselu.”
