The Court of Appeal sitting in Benin, Edo State, has refused to
grant an injunction seeking to stop the coronation of Crown Prince Eheneden
Erediauwa as the new Oba of Benin.
Justice Olukayode Baba said his judgment would decide the case in
the substantive appeal.
The injunction was brought by one Rich Arisco-Osemwingie who
proclaimed himself the Ogiamien of Utantan Kingdom in the Benin nation.
Counsel to Arisco-Osemwengie and others, G.E. Oaikhena told the
court that his quest to stop the installation of the new Oba was based on
grounds that the re-enactment of the Ekiagbado Treaty which they claimed the
Ogiemien family should be part of was not included in the programme of event
for the Oba installation.
