Benin monarch, Oba Ewuare II, has tasked native doctors, water goddess priestesses, Osokpikan, Aiyelala and Olokun adherents in his kingdom to come out with all their instruments on July 10 for the purpose of laying curses on kidnappers, armed robbers and other criminal elements in his kingdom in particular and Edo State at large.
Oba Ewuare II gave the order in Benin City on Tuesday when he met with the native doctors in his palace.
The Benin monarch told them to bring all their instruments on the said date for the purpose of performing the exercise.
He said, “Today is a great day. I welcome you with the power of our ancestors. Many things that are not supposed to be happening are happening in this state. We have to pray. Those who want to destroy the kingdom will not succeed.”
Speaking through the Akenuwa of Benin, Chief Osaigbovo Osamwonyi, Oba Ewuare II, said his efforts were to support the state government to ensure peace reigned in the state.
