Oba Of Benin Sacks Priest Of Holy Aruosa Church

The Oba of Benin, His Royal Majesty Omo N’Oba Ewuare Ogidigan (11), has approved the sack of the presiding priest of Holy Aruosa Cathedral, Ohen-Osa Harrison Okao, for alleged non-compliance with ancient long tradition of the land.

The decision was jointly taken by the traditional head of the church, HRM Oba Ewuare the second, joint elders committee, and top palace chiefs after Okao was found guilty of violating the long-standing rules of the church.

A statement by Benin Traditional Council (BTC) Secretary, Mr Frank Irabor, said the removal of the former top priest of the church would restore sanity and lasting peace to the foremost Benin national church.
