The defendant acted foolishly but that doesn't mean he's guilty. I do find it hard to believe he organized the theft of 200 million naira in cash without being noticed. I'm just not sure about the story though. I dont buy his slavery story considering he could of walked off the job when he was 18. Did his parents sell him into slavery and not care? If they're working you like a mule with no payment why are you there? It was foolish for him wasting his life serving this king, speaking to the police without a lawyer and signing statements without a deal in place. “I don’t have fixed working hours. Sometimes I do work from morning (6am) till midnight (12am); sometimes till dawn. I don’t have time for myself because I was occupied. I was being maltreated. I have photo proof. I was always beaten and threatened every day. I was just waiting for the whole issue to die so I can leave because it was becoming more unbearable. I called my parents and I explained everything to them; I even told my friends. They all advised me to just bear that maybe everything will soon be over. 11 Likes 1 Share |

If you all knew what you are getting into ,leave the oba alone , be warned , omadan (sword bearers ) are known to be terrible kids , wayward and crimey at a young age , they are taken to the palace as a way of curbing their evil excesses, its a last resort for parents in ancient times and modern , its an institution on its own to teach these kids discipline.

Note that my parents’ property; a house on 100 by 100 and extra land were seized by the palace even before investigations started. The properties have not been returned yet. How does the palace have the power to seize your property? Why would they take they take their property when they have nothing to do with it. Lol will they also punish their grand children and great grand children like north Korea? This story is so weird lets hope S.R covers the court case extensively. 11 Likes 1 Share |

godofuck231: Reading through your comment, you must think you are addressing a kindergaten class . Please go and ask deposed Alhaji Dasuki, SLS , Andrew, the favorite son of Queen of England etc about their experience when they are found on the other side of the law and the power of the law . If these accusations are true,ehn, the individual occupying that Oba stool is playing with fire! Just pray that boy does not die in prison. You just confirmed that the allegation of Saharareporters,known for fake news, is true by trying to insinuate that the boy deserve to be a slave. Slavery is a huge offence in this age both internationally and locally and once that stool is tainted with the acts of modern slavery, trust me, it is then that you will know the difference between that stool and the individual sitting on it. He will have to go or commit suicide to avoid disgrace. These accusations are grave! This is a leader who at about same time Nelson was allegedly enslaved and locked up on his order recieved the news of his triplets abi quadruplets arrival from his latest young wife , he is now the one who is being alleged of enslaving the child of another person and even seizing the properties of those old folks You better warn the current occupier of the stool. That stool office is what is being respected o not a mortal being occupying the seat o. You are the ones who should be warned and warn others thinking they are in the stone age of human slavery. 82 Likes 9 Shares

Blue3k: From time immemorial and even till date, people hero-worship their fellow mere mortal human beings for different reasons but in a case where crime is established to have been commited, there will be a distinction between the individual on a seat and the office. Not even a title you earn by being the 1st biologocal son o, not an office you attained because you achieved one serious form of bravery or phenomenal accomplishment. Your only credential to be on that seat is by circumstances of birth and nothing more. That was why the Queen seperated those titles from Andrew so he does not drag those offices and titles into ignominy. If this story is true,I will demand that the National Human Rrght Commission(NHRC) and other humanright groups take up the case of this young man and should investigate the palace and other traditiomal rulers that may still be practicing human slavery. All the slaves in all palaces in Nigeria must be set free for life and compensated. Those pictures of the young boy tell a glaring but cringe-worthy story that he is a slave living as a sub-human to the Oba and this is unacceptable in this time and age. Nelson Oghogho is not a slave!! He is a free born citizen of Nigeria. 50 Likes 3 Shares |

The millions they were talking about, is it physical cash or bank transfer?... I mean #200M? If it was real physical cash and not electronic transfer, is the palace a Bank where that kind of money could be found? That Frank guy deserves some slap for hyping a mere mortal... Who will be a dust someday.. even in his confined coffin will not remember anything... He will end the same way the rich and poor has ended...Six feet..But his small brain was telling him he was too big to answer questions.. 39 Likes 2 Shares |

Richy4: This makes more sense. even then the transaction would be flagged and individual who owned the account would be tracked down. This case will be interesting. FreeStuffsNG:. Britain should not to return their bronze till they free the slaves. Can modern slavers really cry to former colonizers? On a serious note the work hours are on a child is slavery. Cracking this sort of case will be hard considering nobody wants to snitch because he's a diety in their minds. They would need incentive to tell on each other. I just wonder about the parents who sent their kid into such an environment. 8 Likes

godofuck231:In what way does your infantile comment help the case of the palace or the poor Nelson? You still think you are typing comments for babies. Edo no be Lagos o. Here in Lagos, we protect human dignity and strive for excellence at all times. If the human slavery in this report that makes any sane individual cringe should take place in Lagos,the LASG officials will be at your doorstep by now! That is why every serious business should bring their investment to Lagos State today. Do not invest in communities where human slavery is practised , invest in Lagos where human liberty is cherished and protected, move your investment away from localities where human slavery is practised and bring your investment to Lagos and the SouthWest. From Badagry to Ikeja to Ikorodu,Epe and Lagos central divisions,we do not practice human slavery. In Lagos, your investments are safe and guaranteed of great returns. Please invest in Lagos today. 17 Likes 1 Share

The Benin people are easily brainwashed. The Obas were known to sacrifice human beings during the peak of their powers. The last Oba in 1897 Oba Ovonramwen was said to have sacrificed over 5,000 people (in January, 1897 before the British invasion in February) when the British were approaching Benin (after 1897, the Obas are just advisers and wield no power whatsoever, an LGA chairman today is much higher). The Obas are worshipped as gods but trust me, they don't have any power more than you and I. Britain burnt down the whole Benin in less than 4hrs, looted their palace and shrines including their highest god whom they sacrificed millions of humans to, if these Obas were spiritual and powerful, would such have happened? Today, they are doing everything possible to restore the Benin monarchy back to it's useless glory (human sacrifices), they are giving a mere man that sleeps with numerous women and uses the toilet power over life and death. Such rubbish can never happen in any sane society. Oba my foot, he's just a mere guy that's hustling just like everyone. The Obas of Benin were said to have sold over 200,000 people as slaves to Portugal, they exemplified slavery to the core, they weakened all their surrounding neighbors except the Igbos obviously, I wonder what's so special about an irrelevant stool in 2022 that would warrant them being unable to face accusations and be punished for crimes against humanity. In Benin tradition, the Oba never bows before any human because he's a living god, but he bowed before a woman here and heaven nor fall , shows we're all bloody humans afterall 72 Likes 9 Shares

"They should not drag Omo n'Oba into it at all; he is too big for that. So there is no need to say the palace or the secretary should react. Let the court handle it. Please, he is too big for that," Irabor said. Too big for what? Too big for modern day slavery or too big for detaining a young boy of 20 years. Well I learnt Benins are in support of the obas action against the boys so who am I to offer sympathy. Let them continue suffering. 21 Likes 1 Share |
