Oba Of Benin Dies At 92

The Great Oba of Benin has reportedly passed away.

His Royal Majesty Omo n'Oba n'Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Erediauwa, the
monarch of Benin Kingdom died at 92 years.

According to authoritative sources within and outside Edo State, the
well-regarded king transited to the great beyond about two weeks ago.

His death is still being kept secret because by Benin tradition, the
death of an Oba could only be officially announced 30 days after his
transition.
