THE suit by some enigie in Benin Kingdom against the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II, before an Edo State High Court, challenging their suspension is to start afresh following the recent posting and transfer of judges in the state as the new judge, where the suit is assigned said the suit would “start de novo.”
This development led to the state government on Sunday to caution against any attempt by anybody or group from disrupting court activities, yesterday. The suspended Enigie led by Duke of Evbuobanosa and Egbaen Siluko dukedoms in Benin Kingdom, Prof. Gregory Akenzua and Chief Edomwonyi Ogiegbaen are challenging their suspension from office by the Oba in suit no B/250os/2023, claiming that their appointment as traditional chiefs enjoys recognition by the Edo State Government and that they were duly registered under Section 25 of the Traditional Rulers and Chieftaincy Law.
