Members of the Oseghevbo Social-Cultural Organization, have made a passionate appeal to the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II, to lift the suspension imposed on the Enogie [Duke] of Ologbo Dukedom Prince Owen Jason Akenzua.
They made the appeal in a statement in Benin, Edo State, South-South Nigeria, on Tuesday.
The group in the statement signed by Collins Oghomwen and Osunde Sunday, President and Secretary respectively, appealed to the Benin Monarch to forgive the Enogie, noting that to err is human and to forgive is divine.
They described Prince Jason Akenzua predicament as a victim of circumstance.
The group also appealed to those appointed by the Benin Monarch to replace the suspended Duke and others to uphold the ethics of truth and fairness and to promote good co-existence in their respective designated domains.
247nextnews.com reports that the Benin Monarch, on March 8, 2025, announced the suspension of 67 Enigie [Dukes] in the seven local government areas that make up the Edo South senatorial district.
The Enigie were suspended over alleged anti-palace activities and rebellion against the Monarch.
