Oba of Benin suspends 67 Enigie over alleged rebellion
The Benin Traditional Council has announced the suspension of 67 Enigie from their positions, citing actions deemed rebellious and against the Oba of Benin and the kingdom’s traditional institution.
Frank Irabor, Secretary of the Benin Traditional Council, disclosed this in a statement issued in Benin City on Friday.
“This decision was made by Ewuare II, Oba of Benin, due to their alleged anti-palace and rebellious activities against the Oba of Benin and the traditional institution,” Irabor stated.

He added that a list of the suspended Enigie had been attached to the official notice for record purposes and any required follow-up.
PlatinumPost reports that some of the affected Enigie, including Prof. Gregory Akenzua and Edomwonyi Ogiegbaen, had previously challenged their suspension in a Benin High Court.
They argued that, under the Traditional Rulers and Chiefs Law, the Oba of Benin lacked the legal authority to suspend them.
