Benin Traditional Council exonerates Oba of Benin from public molestation of Pedro Obaseki

The Benin Traditional Council (BTC) has washed its hands clean from what it termed “the unfortunate incidence in which Pedro Obaseki was manhandled.”

Declaring its none involvement in the scandalous issue the BTC said that it “was not authorized by the Oba of Benin.

“And it cannot be authorized because it is not in the character of our revered monarch to do so. The Oba of Benin is a peace-loving father to all.”

Going further, the BTC also adviced youth “not to take the laws into their hands on any issue no matter the degree of provocation. They should always respect the laws of the land in all actions and utterances and allow appropriate security agencies handle all matters.”

It charged social media users “should equally endeavour to cross-check information appropriately before posting.”
