Thousands of residents in Edo State took to the streets on Tuesday to express outrage over alleged land-grabbing and perceived disrespect shown by Governor Godwin Obaseki towards the revered Oba of Benin, Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo.

The protesters, comprising community members and supporters of the Benin monarch, condemned the governor’s actions, claiming they undermined the traditional institution and violated ancestral lands.

Obaseki has challenged the Benin monarch on several occasions, including his attempt to divide the kingdom by creating the so-called local government traditional council in Edo South Senatorial district.

This conflict between Benin Monarch and Obaseki started after the latter failed to grab Benin artefacts, which rightly belonged to the Oba of Benin
