Okhaegeles(Youth leaders of communities in Edo South District) have squared up with Governor Godwin Obaseki over his flat out ban on them, saying: “We are Benins and we cannot be intimidated or oppressed under any guise of groups or government.”  

In a protest round the state capital, Benin City, the embittered Okhaegeles reminded the governor that they are not political appointees under the leadership of the state government, adding that they’re only loyal and subjects to the Oba of Benin Kingdom.
