The Edo State Government has announced the removal of three traditional rulers across two local government areas for allegedly violating extant traditional and legal regulations.

Umoru Inusa Umoru was removed as the Aidenogie of South Ibie in Etsako West, while Alhaji Aliyu Kelvin Danesi was immediately reinstated to the position.

This was disclosed in a statement on Wednesday in Benin by the Secretary to the State Government, Mr Umar Ikhilor.

Ikhilor said that Umoru’s removal followed the discovery that the Aidenogie stool was not allegedly vacant prior to his appointment.

Similarly, Lukman Akemokue was removed as Okuokpellagbe of Okpella in Etsako East for allegedly contravening succession laws established under customary declarations.

His removal, according to the statement, was allegedly based on non-compliance with the Bendel State Legal Notice 132 of 1979, guiding traditional succession.


Also affected was Dr George Oshiapi Egabor, who was removed as Okumagbe of Uwano Kingdom, Agenebode, in Etsako East Local Government.

Egabor’s removal followed his alleged suspension due to repeated incidents of kidnappings and killings reported within his domain.

The statement noted that the Executive Council of Edo approved these revocations at its meeting held on Tuesday, April 29.

The statement added that preparations were underway to commence the lawful selection process for a new Okuokpellagbe of Okpella and Okumagbe of Uwano Kingdom.

Citizens of the affected areas were urged to remain peaceful as the government works to preserve order, unity, prosperity, and communal harmony statewide.

Well, those great whites, they have big teeth. Hope they bite you.

Same way the Chicago drug merchant will be dethroned in a few years time.

This I have seen!

For the good of Edo state.

Osho short man, is that your handwriting?

APC is like that so called Religion of pieces, If you don't know how to lie and pretend pls don't join, imagine Reno Omokri lieying about statistics when Tinubu during his campaign said Na statistics we go chop?

Good. Traditional leader with constant crime in his domain that never touches him and his family should be removed. Traditional leaders might no more about these crimes than they pretend to know. Same with LG chairman’s and Governors.

Egabor’s removal followed his alleged suspension due to repeated incidents of kidnappings and killings reported within his domain.


Is he the LGA chairman, commissioner of police or the governor? Something is fishy about his removal.

keep your mouth shut. Those places are all Oshiomohole's domain. APC won all over there and in extension edo north hands down. The governor is doing the right thing. I like is audacity and boldness. He just destroyed the AYE cult headquarters in Benin. Many more are to be destroyed.

Critics from troubled and sit at home region condemn the governor while neglecting their own issues.

Okpebholo the erand boy is on rampage.
He is just doing the bidding of his master.
Very unfortunate.

What's good for the goose, right?

Nigeria is funny and extremely irresponsible.

How can traditional rulers who are extinct in their duties, be in charge of crime or non realistic things.


First off, they are not law enforcement or any type of security forces. Telling Nigerian traditional rulers to have the responsibility of knowing who and who is in their area, is opening the area to parallel leadership and possible tribalism, not to talk of meritless favoritism by the traditional ruler.

Traditional ruler are currently like paper tigers. The lg and sg, are the current day traditional rulers. Their responsibilities are being shifted around, which breeds excuses and irresponsibility.
