He gave this warning during the weekend in a thanksgiving service to round off the 2018 annual Igue Festival Celebrations at the Holy Aruosa Cathedral in Benin, Edo State.
He said youths who cling to the illusion that they could become wealthy by killing people or stealing female underwear for ritual purposes would no doubt face the consequence. .

The paramount ruler finally cautioned youths not to offer themselves as political thugs to cause mayhem during elections.
Reports also has it that the Oba was accompanied by his wives to the church service which was conducted in Edo language.
