Utoka-Urumwon Boundary: Panel Upholds Palace Report BENIN CITY- The panel set up by the Association of Enigie in Benin Kingdom to look into the disobedience of the Enogie of Utoka to the Oba Palace decision on the boundary dispute between Utoka and Urumwon Communities has submitted its report to the palace. The panel’s report presented at the palace, upheld the earlier palace report to the effect that, Ogbonmwen River is the boundary between Urumwon and Utoka Communities and not the purported moat. According to a statement signed by the Secretary to the Oba of Benin, the panel therefore recommended that both parties should abide by the palace panel report on the matter as approved by the Omo N’Oba in a palace ruling dated 3rd June 2011. The statement further stated that, considering the report of the panel, the suspension which was earlier placed on the Enogie of Utoka has been relaxed having showed remorse for his act of disobedience to the palace of the highly esteemed Royal Majesty, Oba Erediauwa, the Oba of Benin Kingdom. It will be recalled that a panel was recently constituted by Enigie from the Royal Palace to investigate allegations of acts of disobedience to the royal Benin Palace by the Enogie of Utoka.
