As the dust
raised by recent demolition of official residence of some staff of the
University of Benin by Edo State Governor, Mr. Adams Oshiomhole is yet to
settle down; one of the princes of the royal dynasty of Benin, Prince
Ekpen Erediauwa last week raised alarm that he was being harassed by the
state governor over a piece of land he duly acquired from the Federal
Government.
The
controversial land situated at Okorotu Area, GRA in Benin City was said to have
been acquired by the prince many years ago while he wondered why the
governor chose to invade the landed property this time.
Prince Ekpen
Erediauwa clearly stated that the controversy was non-political as he still
belongs to the All Progressives Congress.
Prince Ekpen
Erediauwa, a former Oredo Local Government Council Caretaker Committee Chairman
threatened to go to court over what he called harassment by the governor.
Meanwhile, Edo
State chapter of Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), has described the action of
the governor as blatant desperation and abomination to the Benin Kingdom.
