The Oba of Benin, Ewuare II, has suspended the traditional priest of Unuamen Village, Sunday Enoma, in Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo State.
The monarch’s Chief Press Secretary, Osaigbovo Iguobaro, made this known via a statement issued on Saturday, December 6, 2025.
Iguobaro noted that the chief priest was suspended as Ohen-Ovia of Unuamen for violating established Benin customs and traditions.

He quoted Oba Ewuare as reaffirming Chief Kingsley Igbinosa as the Okao or traditional head of Unuamen Village.
He dismissed the suspended priest’s claim that he usually installed the Okao, describing it as baseless, unfounded, and abominable.
The monarch stressed that all chieftaincy titles in the Benin Kingdom are conferred solely by him.
