Benin palace curses evil doers, exploiters

 

 

The Oba of Benin Palace in Benin City on Friday placed curses on individuals, collaborators plotting to tarnish Benin monarchy and those peddling false narratives about Benin customs and tradition on social media.

Palace Chiefs
comprising traditional Physicians, Priests, Priestesses, and Ayelala devotees, performed the solemn ritual at the main entrance gate of the Benin Palace in Benin City, Edo State.

Libations were poured on ancient spiritual traditional weapons, while traditional physicians blew occipital horns, summoned ancestral spirits to bear witness against those seeking to destabilise the kingdom.

Specifically, the curse targets conspiracy theorists spreading false information, create memes, or misuse palace insignia and individuals that disrespect the Benin monarchy.

They condemned the unauthorized use of ceremonial swords, otherwise called ‘Ada and Eben’, during social events, including burials and Birthday celebrations.

They also condemned unauthorize use of sacred Benin Royal paraphernalia, including Benin Royal costumes by Benin Chiefs and Ikele’ beads, ‘Okuku hairstyle’ — reserved for specific members of Benin Royal family.

Merchants of violence in some villages and Communities in Edo State and their cohorts both at home and diaspora were also not spared during the special exercise.
