Queen Ewuare Defends Peller’s Benin Palace Visit Amid Palace Chiefs’ Suspension

A row has erupted over social media star Peller’s recent visit to the Benin Royal Palace. The Benin Traditional Council suspended Queen Ewuare and some chiefs, calling the trip a breach of protocol and accusing them of desecrating sacred grounds. In response, Queen Ewuare used her TikTok platform to present a stamped letter from the council. She insisted the palace was notified in advance and that the narrative of unauthorised entry is false. The queen also thanked supporters and hinted at deeper issues behind the scenes. Reactions online split sharply. Some praised the queen’s stand and urged respect for Edo heritage. Others argued that receipt of a letter does not equal formal approval. Meanwhile, the council has held firm, warning that the palace is no place for casual content creation and noting police action against a palace staff member.
