A high chief in Edo state, Chief
David Edebiri who is the Esogban of Benin Kingdom and the Odionwere (Head) of
witches and wizards in Edo state, has given reasons witches and wizards in
Benin kingdom are not killed.
Edebiri, while addressing members
of African Bar Association on certain aspects of Benin culture on Wednesday at
his residence, said that any witch or wizard that confesses in the Benin
kingdom, is not killed but with uttermost respect, is made ineffective, the
Nation reports.
He added that such person is
rehabilitated back into the society after undergoing certain processes.
Edebiri explained that the powers
to deal with witches and wizards in the kingdom was given to him by the Oba of
Benin.
“Witches and wizards are my
subjects. We deal with them in a decent way. There is no magical process in it.
“Once anybody confessed to be a
witch, we send them to a home and a Chief is given the powers to disposes them.
“We take them through certain
processes and they will become ineffective. They will go back to the society
better persons,” he said.
