The people of Igueosagie community in Uhunmwde LGA of Edo state has denied that an appeal court has ruled against them in a boundary dispute with their neighbor community, Ekoken community.

Speaking through their Odionwere (village head), Evbaru Edionwere, in Benin, they said the substantive suit was still pending at the state High Court

According to the community Head, “As we speak, the substantive suit is still pending in court at Ehor. So, the information being peddled by the people of Ekoken and documents displayed are all false and misleading.

“As far as we are concerned, we subscribed to the resolution of the Palace of Oba Ewuare II which ordered the demarcation of the boundary between us; Ekoken and Igueosagie people.

“They emphasised that in 2018, both neighbours were in agreement when the boundary demarcation took place, and today the location is known as ‘Boundary road’ running from Igueosagie to by-pass at the federal highway, and across.

“Contrary to the claim of Ekoken people, the ‘Iyanuwu’ (moat natural feature) is not the boundary as there are several moats in the area.”

They consequently warn that all property buyers and developers should beware, as they appealed to the monarch, HRM Oba Ewuare II and all relevant government authorities to come to their aid as “a stitch in time saves nine”.
