The Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II, has sanctioned several palace officials, including chiefs, the palace queen, and other staff, for granting unauthorized access to social media influencer Habeeb Hamzat Adelaja, popularly known as Peller, within the palace grounds.
According to sources from the palace, the disciplinary measures were implemented to uphold protocol, protect the integrity of the royal institution, and ensure that access to the Oba and the palace is strictly regulated. The sanctions serve as a stern warning against breaches of palace rules and unauthorized engagements with outsiders.
The palace emphasised that the Oba holds the authority to regulate interactions within the royal environment and that all engagements with celebrities, influencers, or media personalities must receive prior approval from the palace administration.
