Victims of human trafficking in Edo State will breathe a sigh of relief as state doctors on Friday were forced to revoke the oaths and curses inflicted on them. Many victims of human trafficking are generally sworn in and some of their bodily parts are collateralized to enable them to repay the money used to sponsor them.   The Beninese monarch, Oba Ewuare II, forced the indigenous doctors to revoke the curses and oaths placed on the victims of the slave trade. According to The Nation, the monarch said that victims of trafficking were now free from their traffickers and whatever oaths they were placed on. Oba Ewuare II has also cast a curse on traffickers of human beings and those who aid and encourage human trafficking in the state. He cursed indigenous doctors who subject victims to an oath of secrecy, violators of the order banning community development associations, and others whose business is to introduce sons and daughters of the earth into various groups. of worship. Those who took part in the swearing exercise were priests from various state sanctuaries such as Ohen Okhuae, Ohen Ovia, Ohen noriyekeogba, Ohen Ake, Ohen Niwuo, the indigenous doctors, Ohen Sango, Odionwere, Iwueki, and Enigies. Oba Ewuare II warned those who aided and abetted the trafficking of human beings by using black magic and subjecting them to the oath of secrecy to renounce the act or face the wrath of the gods. He said those who took the oath of secrecy were released and free to express their views and reveal their sponsors without fear of harm from their sponsors. The Beninese monarch said that the interest of the palace was to work for the development and progress of the state and urged all his subjects to work in this direction by doing what is right.

His words,
“You native doctors whose business are to subject people to the oath of secrecies and encouraging this evil act on the land, you have to repent, stop doing it. This is not a joking matter and if you do not repent, you have to wait for the repercussion”, he said.
“The palace is not against those practicing the act of native doctors but those who use it to perpetrate evil in the land through aiding and abetting human trafficking in the state.
“We want to use this medium to tell those who are under any oaths of secrecies that they are now free. We revoke the oath today.
"What the Palace represents is the peace and development of the state.I want to use this means to tell you that the act of using charms to help milking, the palace frowns seriously. "We want us to join our efforts to fight against human trafficking," he said. He said there have been positive reports about the state of Edo and that such a positive relationship needs to be maintained.
