This menace predates the reign of beloved late Oba Solomon Akenzua who, perhaps because he was a proponent of technocracy and would have preferred that the state handled the case, chose to do nothing much to rein in on the perpetrators of this evil practice in Bini kingdom.

We will review and take appropriate action.
