The aggrieved enigie (dukes) of Benin Kingdom who are having issues with the palace of Benin Kingdom including instituting a suit in court have said they were not averse to peace but that it must be on the bases of justice which was the reason they said they went to court to challenge the alleged injustice being meted to them.
The enigie said these yesterday at a press conference in Benin City where they also denied allegations that they were being sponsored by government and its agents even as they chronicled events that led to the crisis between them and the palace.
They also said that some members of the royal family and the lawyers to the Oba who recently issued statements condemning the planned peace moves initiative by Governor Godwin Obaseki were wrong in their positions adding that they explored all known traditional means of ensuring peace before they went to court.
Speaking on behalf of the Association Enigie Edo South Senatorial District, Professor Gregory Akenzua said “There is no other traditional process that we know that we have not yet gone through.
