Confusion as selected chief priest runs away

Oza village in Igpoba hill community, Orhiomwon Local Government Edo state South- South Nigeria was recently thrown into state of confusion over the whereabouts of the selected man that would be the next chief priest of the village.
Our reporter gathered that one Lucky Odion, the only son of the immediate past chief priest of the community, Chief Igbinoba was meant to go through the sacred processes and rituals leading to his emergence as the chief priest of the community, following the demise of his father whose funeral ceremony came up on January 2nd, 2015.

According to sources in the community, barely three days to the sacrifice, Lucky Odion’s whereabouts could not be ascertained, a development that has thrown the entire community into confusion, as Efosa have run away to unknown destination to avoid been installed as the chief priest of the community.
According to a source in the community who spoke with our reporter, Chief Igbinoba, the immediate past chief priest of the community is such a competent priest. It was gathered that Chief Igbinoba has three wives and 15 children, comprising of 14 females and one male child who is Lucky Odion.
As the custom of the community, the office of the chief priest is hereditary for male child, hence when Chief Igbinoba passed on, his only Lucky Odion is expected to automatically take over the post.
One of the elders in the community, pa Ahonson reportedly said the elders in the community invited Lucky Odion shortly after the death of his father and intimate him of the next steps that need to be taken and that he should step into his father’s position. It was gathered that Lucky Odion reportedly declined the position and told them that he’s a Christian but the elders allegedly threatened to kill him if he declined.
According to the source when Lucky could no longer handle the pressure the elders mounted on him, he told them he will accept the position. As a result of that, the elders fixed a date for the ritual but three days to the fixed date, he run away and as of the time of filling this report, there is tension in the community. Some few people in the community think their chief priest to be may have died, some believed Lucky may have traveled out of Edo state.
