Oba of Benin
The Edaiken N’Uselu, Eheneden Erediauwa, will be crowned the Oba of Benin on October 20.
The coronation was earlier fixed for September 26 but was shifted because of the Edo State governorship election, rescheduled for September 28.
Chairman of the Coronation Planning Committee, Prince Gregory Akenzua, told reporters yesterday in Benin, the state capital, that burial activities within the kingdom had been prohibited throughout the period of the coronation.
Prince Akenzua said the crown prince would finally leave Edaiken palace for Eko-Ohae on October 8, where he will spend three days.
Akenzua said the crown prince would perform some important ceremonies connected with the coronation for seven to 10 days, prior to his departure from Uselu.
He added: “From the day the Edaiken N’Uselu leaves Uselu palace for Eko-Ohae, the use of coral beads by those normally entitled will be restored and the use of ‘Omo N’Orhue’ (white beads) will be discontinued.”
