The elders and people of Iguoshodin N’Ebudin Community in Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo State have again said that Ogbeson is not a separate or autonomous community from Iguoshodin N’Ebudin community.
In a statement by Edwin Aibamgbee, Esquire, the solicitor to Iguoshodin N’Ebudin community, the elders and people of the community insisted that Ogbeson is a quarter in Iguoshodin N’Ebudin and not independent, distinct, or autonomous contrary to beliefs in some quarters.
According to the statement, this position has been reiterated by the Benin Traditional Council via a document dated fourth November 2021 that was further certified on the ninth of December 2024, wherein it stated that Ogbeson is a quarter in Iguoshodin N’Ebudin Village in Ovia North East Local Government of Edo State and that the Odionwere of Iguoshodin N’Ebudin oversees all the quarters in the village.
It advised that anybody that has any dealings with the Ogbeson quarters without reference to the Odionwere of Iguoshodin N’Ebudin does so at his or her own risk.
