The Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II, has sacked the Enogie of Egbaen Siluko, Edomwonyi Iduozee Ogiegbaen, in Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo State.
This comes after Ogiegbaen was removed as chief coordinator to the palace on Enigie matters in January 2023, over alleged rebellion, dereliction of duty, and uprising in the Enigie fold in Benin Kingdom.
Oba Ewuare also appointed Capt Uwadiae Ohonbamumwen (Rtd) as the Odionwere of Egbaen Siluko, while Aimuamwosa Oyemwense Agidi was appointed as the Odionwere of Obazuwa Dukedom in Ovia North East Local Government Area of the state.

Speaking on the development, Ohonbamumwen said he was not involved in the atrocities levelled against Ogiegbaen, who he said refused to honour several appeals made to him to retrace his steps.
He stated that Ogiegbaen rejected several appeals by the elders of the dukedom after the latter led some dissident dukes to petition the Edo State Government, requesting the constitution of traditional councils for Edo South LGAs in a bid to balkanise the Benin Kingdom.
He, however, urged Oba of Benin to appoint an administrative head in Egbaen Siluko, which he said had been due for the past five years, to save the area from lawlessness.
