We regretably announce the passing away of the 38th oba of Benin, His royal Majesty omo n'Oba n'Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Eredawa 1.
He died today (Friday) afternoon at the ripe old age of 93.
The Oba's death was announced few minutes ago by the Iyase of Benin kingdom.
The late king was said to have been battling with an unknown illness. The whole of Edo kingdom would surely miss the departed soul. Rip Igwe!
Rip king
