Governor Obaseki Renames Edo Arena in Honor of Rema
The Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, has declared that the newly built Edo Arena, which accommodates 6,000 individuals, will be named in tribute to the internationally acclaimed afrobeats musician, Rem.
This declaration was made during the groundbreaking ceremony for the project, which took place in Benin City on Wednesday. Rema was present at the ceremony, participating alongside the governor in laying the first block of the arena.
In a post on X following the event, Governor Obaseki expressed, “It was a privilege to have our international music icon @heisrema with me for the groundbreaking of the 6,000-capacity Edo Arena. The venue, which will be named ‘Rema’s Dome,’ is located at the former Garrick Memorial School Ground on Ekenhuan Road in Benin City.”
The Governor further explained that once completed, the arena will host a variety of events, including concerts, national conferences, symposiums, and other significant gatherings.
He emphasized that the arena is anticipated to attract more visitors to the state, offering them a chance to experience the rich culture and heritage of Edo, while also creating employment opportunities for the youth.
Rema, whose birth name is Divine Ikubor, originates from Benin City and has consistently represented Edo State, highlighting the state and the legacy of the ancient Benin empire through his music and performances.
His recent single, ‘Benin Boys,’ featuring fellow Edo-born artist Shallipopi, serves as a homage to the city of Benin.

Coroner’s Court Warns Naira Marley and Sam Larry of Subpoena for Missing Witnesses’ Hearing
The Coroner’s Court in Ikorodu, Lagos, has warned Naira Marley and Sam Larry, among other witnesses, to attend the ongoing investigation into Mohbad’s death or face subpoenas. Following a request from Mohbad’s father for more witnesses, the court has permitted alternative service.
The hearing, which saw only one key witness present, has been rescheduled to September 30, with subpoenas to be issued if witnesses fail to appear.
At the latest court session, only Boluwatife Adeyemo (Darosha) appeared as a witness. The hearing has been rescheduled to September 30, with the magistrate warning that subpoenas will be issued if other witnesses, including Naira Marley and Sam Larry, fail to attend.
Mohbad’s family has expressed frustration with the police investigation, criticizing their reliance on witness accounts and lack of support for an independent autopsy and toxicology tests. They have called for the removal of officers involved due to alleged mishandling, but the Police Service Commission has yet to respond.
Mohbad, who died on September 12, 2023, at 27, has been at the center of controversy, leading to the arrest of his former record label owner, Naira Marley, among others. The Lagos State Police have formed a special team for the investigation and conducted an autopsy after exhuming his body.
