The Oba of Benin, His Royal Majesty, Oba Ewuare, the

second has consoled hostages of the Igueben train station in

Igueben Local Government Area of Edo State.

He stated this at the 2023 universal week of prayers by Benin

City Christians Community which was rounded off in his

Palace in Benin City.

He prayed God to intervene on the security in Nigeria and

also condoled with the family of a police officer, Michael

Adams who died shortly after leading a team to rescue a

Customary Court President in Igueben who was kidnapped on

her way to work.
