The Oba of Benin, His Royal Majesty Omo N'Oba N'Edo Uku-Akpolokpolo Oba Ewuare the second has suspended the traditional priest of Uniamen Village, Chief Sunday Sidney Enoma in Ovia North East local government Area from his position as the Ohen-Ovia of Unuamen for violating the custom and traditional of Benin.
The suspension of the traditional Priest is contained in Press statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the Oba of Benin, Osaigbovo Iguobaro.
According to the statement Omo N'Oba Ewuare has reaffirmed Chief Kingsley Igbinosa at the Okao (traditional head) of Unuamen Village.
Omo N'Oba Ewuare described the claim by the suspended Ohen of Unuamen that he is the one who usually installs the Okao of the village as baseless, unfounded and abominable, noting that all Chieftaincy titles in Benin kingdom are conferred by the Oba.
