Fake News Alert: Edo Gov’t not in conflict with Oba of Benin, no case in court (+Video)

The Edo State Government has no case in court against the revered paramount ruler, the Oba of Benin, HRM. Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Ewuare II, saying it’s a mere rumoured from the detractors and the opposition.

The rumour making the rounds on social media of an impending court case is the handiwork of enemies of the State and should be disregarded.

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.
