The wivies of the Oba was never happy with him, the saw him as a threat who may revolt in future to take his rightful position. Eventually, they lied against him, they needed him to leave the Palace, or he will be killed, but the Father stood for him until, it was reported, that Ohon the great Hunter has killed an Animal called Ekpen (Lion) which was a crime in Benin Kingdom, he was made to go through some test, he however ran away, knowing fully well, he couldn't pass the test due to the high conspiracy surrounding him. What he hunrted was a leopard (Obidon) but the King's wives were fully against him, so he Left.
