The Oba of
Benin has placed a temporary ban on the wearing of beads in his kingdom as part
of the rituals for the celebration of a festival in his kingdom.
Read the full text
contained in the circular below signed by the secretary, Benin traditional
council.
This is coming few months
after a Chief in Benin, identified as Chief Dr. Oguigo, was humiliated and
labelled an enemy of the land for not paying homage to the Oba of Benin, His
Royal Majesty, Oba Ewuare II.
Facebook user, Chuks
Mgborie-Chukwu, who shared the video on his timeline, said a curse was placed
on the chief at the Oba of Benin Palace. On the day the decree was made, the
chief was also ostracized.
The video showed the
elderly chief stripped to his trousers and pleading for mercy while being
escorted out of the palace. Passers-by also watched in amazement as the erring
man wailed out of the palace premises.
Also, a Germany based man
identified as Murphy Idahosa, was been banished from the Benin Kingdom for
disrespecting the Oba of Benin. The things he did to disrespect the king was
however not disclosed.
