The Benin Monarch, Omo N’ Oba N’ Edo, Uku Akpolokpolo, Ewuare II, Oba of Benin, has placed a curse on kidnappers, armed robbers, and all persons who plan to commit evil in his kingdom and across Edo State.
Oba Ewuare II placed the curse through the priests and priestesses of all shrines in his kingdom, the physicians (Ewaise), the Iwebo society, and Aiyelala.
He said it was time to revert to the ancient traditional ways of resolving security challenges in the State.
The spiritual exercise was conducted in the early hours of Wednesday because of its significance and methodology.
Oba Ewuare II said the exercise was intended to complement the state government’s efforts to tackle the menace of insecurity.
The placing of the curse began with a procession from the Oba palace grounds, led by various adherents wearing traditional “Ododo” attire.
They gathered at the entrance gate of the Oba’s palace in Benin City, where they poured libations over several items they had been asked to bring.
The ancestors and ancestral spirits were called upon to bear witness against those seeking to destabilise the peace of Edo State.
Deadly curses were also placed on sponsors of bloodletting activities and other social crimes, including those who sought the downfall of the Benin Kingdom.
Additional fortifications were built to protect the land against any bandit invasion.
Prayers were held for individuals working tirelessly to ensure the kingdom’s progress and development, as well as for the fortification of the land against any invasion by bandits and other criminal elements.
Head of the Ewaise palace group, Chief Osemwonta Iguezigbon, and the Chief Priest of the Ayelala deity, Clement Edegbe, said the curses would end the menace of violent crime and its collaborators.
“A lot of things have been going wrong in Benin. Some people are no longer respecting their elders. There have been a lot of kidnappings and others”, according to Chief Edegbe.
