As a matter of fact, in the matter being referenced by the purveyors of the fake news, Edo State Government is a defendant, which means the State government is being sued.
In a statement issued by Crusoe Osagie,
Special Adviser on Media Projects,
May 9, 2024, the State Government maintains a cordial relationship with the Royal Palace and holds the Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Ewuare II, Ogidigan, in high esteem.
The rumour is fabricated, fake and should be discountenanced in its entirety.
It is election season again and fifth columnists are at work.
