The Royal Family of the Enogie of Oka Numoogunhen, Ikpoba Okha LGA of Edo State, has appealed to His Royal Majesty, Omo N’Oba, Uku Akpolokpo, Oba Ewuare II, to stop the burial of the family’s first son slated for this Friday.

A press statement by the present first son of the family, Prince Oscar Osayoige Edoigiawerie, stated that their late first son allegedly exhumed their late father’s body that was peacefully buried in his (late father) compound to unknown place without other children consent.

According to him, this act of burying their first son who allegedly exhumed their father’s body without their consent is an abomination in Benin tradition, hence His Royal Majesty shouldn’t allow it take place without the necessary sacrifice, just as he added that this abominable act has mysteriously claimed lives of their promising five sons.

He added that he doesn’t know who would be the next person to follow in the dead spree hence the burial of their first son who carried out the abomination act should be suspended until all the necessary sacrifices are carried out.

“ We the entire children of our late father are demanding for justice to know where a father of 37 children will be exhumed from his final resting peace after selling the whole house. (SIC)

” We want to know where our late father’s body was relocated or even where his bones are kept.”

” We are very scared, and we want to put a stop to this endless sudden death that has been tormenting us all these years, so we can all be free. It’s a very serious abomination against our tradition/culture as we don’t know who will be next to fall down again as 3 gallant and very young men in their prime have died mysteriously. Five (5) men from the children his mother had for our late father”, he said.

The Prince noted that as Royal Family, the Benin Monarch, as a matter of urgency, help them salvage the situation before it turns to a generational curse.
