Oba of Benin Oba Ewuare II has announced the birth of his baby girl whose birth coincided with his birthday and coronation anniversary.
A statement signed by the secretary of Benin Traditional Council Frank Irabor and made available to journalists on Monday said the princess was born on October 20.
The statement explained that the announcement was delayed because of the tension raised by the #EndSARS protests.
“The Benin Traditional Council, on behalf of His Royal Majesty, Oba Ewuare 11, and the Royal Palace of Benin Kingdom, joyfully announces that her Royal Highness, Queen Owamagbe of Benin Kingdom, has been delivered of a baby girl,” the statement read.
“The infant princess and her mother are in excellent health and good spirit.”
