Egor local government Council has suspended planned coronation of Madam Iyabo, as market President in Egor local government area.
Madam Iyabo is reported to have payed ₦1.5M to Pst. Josephine "Otagbogbo" Ibhaguezejele, to emerge Egor market President—she was to oversee all the markets in Egor, so as to quickly recoup her money.
A letter by the Ag Chairman, Egor LGA, Osaro Osa-Eribo, read, "this is to inform the general public, market leaders, and traders within Egor Local Government Area that the proposed inauguration of Iye-Eki in all the markets across the Local Government has been suspended indefinitely".
The purported coronation was scheduled for 3rd October, 2025, 12.00noon, at Uselu market, Benin City, the Edo State capital.
The anti-Benin move, now suspended, following Omo n'Oba's rejection of the "Iyaloja" in Benin and the attendant public outcry, signposts a broader strategy to subject markets in Edo State, particularly Benin, under the so-called "Iyaloja".
The exercise, now suspended, and never to resurface, would have held across the 18 local government areas of Edo State at different days.
The Divisional Police Officers and all relevant security agencies have been duly notified and directed to arrest and prosecute any individual or group who violates the suspension directive.
