AS preparations for the coronation of a new Oba of

The implication of the symbolic wrestling bout which took
place at the shrine located at Evbuekoi community, in
Uhunwode Local Government Area of the state, is that once
the Crown Prince becomes Oba, both of them will never see
each other again.
The Okhuaihe Chief Priest, will not enter Benin City again and whenever the Oba wants to pass through the vicinity, the Chief Priest would leave the area.
As part of the rites and rituals, the Crown Prince visited the
Chief Priest about 7:55p.m., and both of them proceeded to
the sacred forest in the community where some rites were
performed before the symbolic wrestling bout.
The Crown Prince left Evuekoi for Azama N’ Uhe ancestral
shrine at Oloton’s Palace in Isekhere street where some
traditional rites were also performed as part of the coronation rituals.
