The House of Representatives has resolved to intervene in the alleged plans by the Edo State Government to divide the ancient Benin Kingdom into seven smaller kingdoms.
The House resolved to set up an ad hoc committee to interact with the state government and the Benin Traditional Council on the matter to forestall any crisis.
The resolution was a sequel to a motion of urgent public importance moved by Billy Osawaru (PDP, Edo) and three others on Tuesday during plenary.
