 There Are So Many People Around The President With A Rosy Picture Of What The Country Is — Onaiyekan I was not surprised the president wasn’t looking very happy, even his colleagues present. We knew this is different from what our president keeps receiving from people, and that is one of the things that worry us. We have the obligation to help him to appreciate the reality of the situation in which we have found ourselves.  John Cardinal Onaiyekan Archbishop Emeritus, Catholic Diocese of Abuja

 BENIN TRADITIONAL COUNCIL CONDEMNS PELLER OVER 'DISRESPECTFUL CONDUCT' AS STAFF, QUEEN REPORTEDLY AFFECTED 


17th March, 2026    |   5:40 PM


The Benin Traditional Council has issued a strong condemnation of an individual identified as Peller over what it described as “blatant disrespect” on palace grounds, an incident that has reportedly led to the dismissal of several palace staff, including one of the Queens.


In a statement released by the Council, the revered institution expressed deep concern over actions considered inappropriate and offensive within the sacred environment of the Benin Palace.

ACCORDING TO ANOTHER SOURCE:

The Benin Traditional Council has warned that a queen in the palace of the Oba of Benin Palace may face removal over an incident involving social media influencer Habeeb Hamzat Adelaja, popularly known as Peller.


In a statement signed by its Secretary, Frank Irabor, the council described the incident as a “serious breach of protocol and desecration of the sacred precincts of the Palace.” According to the council, Peller gained unauthorised access to the palace on March 6, 2026, during his nationwide tour, without the required approval.


The statement said: “Mr Adelaja and his entourage entered the palace without the requisite permission… and their subsequent conduct caused significant embarrassment and a breach of the peace within the palace grounds.”


The council emphasised the sacred nature of the palace, stating: “The palace is not a public thoroughfare or a location for frivolous content creation; it is the ancient and spiritual seat of the Oba of Benin.” Following a preliminary investigation, the council confirmed that disciplinary actions have already been taken against individuals involved.


A chief linked to the incident has been suspended indefinitely, while a palace staff member, identified as Mr Omuemu, has been detained by the Nigeria Police Force and charged in court for allegedly aiding the unauthorised entry.


The council also revealed that a queen who appeared in the incident is undergoing disciplinary proceedings that could lead to her removal from the palace. It stated: “In accordance with Benin traditions and customs, these proceedings may result in her removal from the palace.”


The council further confirmed that Peller has been invited to appear before a committee of chiefs to explain his actions but has not complied. “Mr Adelaja has failed to honour this invitation… He must tender an unreserved written apology to the palace for his unauthorised access and the embarrassment caused,” the statement added.
