Oba Ewuare II punishes palace staff over influencer access

Irabor stated, “Specifically, a chief who was implicated in the incident has been suspended indefinitely from the palace. A staff member of the Benin Traditional Council, identified as Mr. Omuemu, has been detained by the Nigeria Police Force. He has been charged in court for causing a breach of the peace and abetting the unauthorised entry.

“Furthermore, it is with deep regret that the council confirms that a Queen of the palace who was unfortunately featured in the incident is now facing serious disciplinary proceedings. In accordance with Benin traditions and customs, these proceedings may inadvertently result in her removal from the palace.”

The statement said following the incident, the council, utilising the same channels within the palace that facilitated the initial entry, had extended an invitation to Habeeb Hamzat Adelaja (Peller), requesting that he appear before a committee of chiefs tasked with investigating the matter to provide his own side of the story.

He stated that Adelaja failed to honour the invitation.

Irabor said the council demanded that Adelaja present himself immediately to the relevant authorities within the council.

He stated that Peller’s unapproved visit had caused untold distress to so many people, and as such, he must tender an unreserved written apology to the palace for his unauthorised access and the embarrassment caused.

The traditional council stated that failure to comply with the directive will leave the council with no option but to pursue legal action.

The statement said the appropriate law enforcement agencies had been duly informed of the matter and were standing by to take necessary action against Peller.

Meanwhile, the palace issued a statement making every staff and visitors to henceforth wear a tag duly bearing their identity.

The statement said any one without the tag will not be allowed into the premises.
