The arrest
and detention of a Chief priest in Edo, The Chief Priest of Okhuaihe shrine,
Osarodion Usuanlele, the Ohen N’ Ukoni Neyedo, at the Edo Police headquarters
in Benin City, has caused mayhem in the ancient city.
In a report
by The Nation, with the priest’s detention, an age-long tradition which says
the Ohen N’ UKoni does not enter Benin, the abode of the Oba, had been
desecrated.
Consequently,
three dogs were slaughtered as sacrifices were carried out near the police
headquarters before the chief priest was released.
Additionally,
a list of other items has been given to the police for cleansing sacrifice the
land.
The items
include 14 native cows, tortoise, sheep, goats, cocks, among others.
It was also
gathered that the tradition was started in the 15th century by Oba Ewuare the
great.
The chief
priest’s shrine is located at Evbiekoi, in Uhunwode Local Government Area, and
as part of coronation rites, he would have a symbolic wrestle with the Crown
Prince. Both of them would go opposite ways, never to see each other again,
once the Crown Prince becomes the Oba.
Trouble
started last week when operatives of the anti-cultism unit stormed Evbiekoi
community following on a petition by John Elvis (aka Atekha), an ex-official of
the banned Community Development Association (CDA), The Nation reports.
Briefing
reporters on the incident, Secretary of Evbiekoi community, Chief Paul Ajayi
said: “The policemen shot sporadically and insisted on taking Chief Priest
Usunalele to Benin City, despite pleas that the man does not enter Benin or he
would die.
“A strange
and mysterious downpour, accompanied by violent wind, thunder and lightning,
were part of the signs of desecration.
“The Oba got
the signs of desecration and presence of Ohen N’ UKoni, and sent emissaries to
the Police Commissioner, Danmallam Abubakar, after confirming that the Chief
Priest was in Benin.”
Meanwhile,
the Police Commissioner, Dan has ordered policemen involved in the arrest of
Ohen N’ Ukoni to be detained to allay rising tensions in Benin as various youth
groups are reportedly preparing to cause mayhem over the alleged desecration of
the Benin culture.
