The Edo State Government has stated categorically that it has no case in court against the Revered Royal Father, Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Ewuare II, the Oba of Benin.
A statement signed by the Special Adviser on Media Projects, Crusoe Osagie made available to journalists informed that the rumour making the rounds on social media of an impending court case is the handiwork of enemies of the state and should be disregarded.
Crusoe in the statement explained that as a matter of fact, in the matter being referenced by the purveyors of the fake news, Edo State Government is a defendant, which means the State government is being sued.
“The State Government maintains a cordial relationship with the Royal Palace and holds the Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Ewuare II, Ogidigan, in high esteem.
“The rumour is fabricated, fake and should be discountenanced in its entirety,” Crusoe stated.
He reminded Nigerians that since it is election season again and that fifth columnists are at work.
The State Government, he said is committed to sustaining a harmonious relationship with all stakeholders in the state and will always work to ensure cordial relations with the all critical institutions in society as part of its mandate to maintain a stable environment for the growth and progress of the State.
