One of the prominent chiefs in Edo State, David Edebiri has explained why witches and wizards who confess to their heinous acts are left to go scot free. Chief David, who happens to be the Esogban of Benin Kingdom, as well as the Odionwere (head) of witches and wizards in the state, had a chat session with representatives of African Bar Association. The during the courtesy visit, the high chief stated that all witches and wizards who publicly make confessions are in fact, treated with a lot of respect before they are subsequently re-initiated into their occultic groups.
David equally confirmed that he has the ability and authority from the Oba of Benin to deal with any witch or wizard in the entire Kingdom.
He said, “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.”
