The Benin Monarch, Omo N’ Oba N’ Edo, Uku Akpolokpolo, Ewuare II, has placed a spiritual curse on kidnappers, armed robbers, and all persons planning to commit evil in his kingdom and across Edo State.
Oba Ewuare II invoked the curse through priests and priestesses of all shrines, the Ewaise (traditional physicians), the Iwebo society, and Aiyelala.
The spiritual exercise, carried out in the early hours of Wednesday, involved a procession by adherents from the Oba’s palace grounds in traditional “Ododo” attire.
Libations were poured at the palace entrance, with calls to the ancestors and ancestral spirits to bear witness against those seeking to destabilise the peace of Edo State.
