In a statement made at the close of the protest, the community expressed dissatisfaction over the frivolous charges levied against His Majesty, however, calling for due process to ascertain claims laid by Gov. Oshiomhole. A statement the protesters read, “We are worried over the recent development ongoing in Edo State. Just last week, a suspension was placed on the Onojie of Uromi, which due process is not taking into consideration here. “If we recall very well, the government had alleged that the traditional ruler allegedly attacked and inflicted grievous bodily harm on one Mrs. Betty Okoebor on September 28, 2016, in public to the embarrassment of those present and causing disgrace to your otherwise esteemed office. Later on, the said lady alleged to have be assaulted had pleaded for the Onojie’s forgiveness, washing her hands off the politics she had earlier created. “Also, another accusation of unauthorized trip was lashed at the Onojie, which really holds no ground for such cruel act of suspension. “We believe that there is more to this allegations than meet the eyes, otherwise you would find out that the whole process is seeming to be handled by one man without following the rule of law to justify his allegation against the Onojie.” Meanwhile, the statement, also noted that series of protest would be engaged by the communities pending the redress and reversal of the suspension. “This is not a military rule where one man dictates everything, otherwise we would be savages. But what we are insisting is for the case to be duly treated by law and be taking to court for observations of facts and prosecution,” it added. The protesters called on the governor to bring back sanity to its community by reversing earlier suspension on the Onojie of Uromi, saying the present development could be tagged as sacrilege to traditional leadership in the State. They said: “We are ready to continue this protest for as long as explanations are given to recent development.”
