Fake Benin Chief Stripped Naked at Oba’s Palace For Impersonation

A member of the Ibiwe Society, Chief Okoro Idusere, has been stripped for parading himself as an Enogie (Duke) and using insignia of palace royalty in his car.

Idusere also wore beads only used by Enigies and top palace functionaries usually presented to them by the Oba of Benin.

In a viral video, the palace Ewaise (diviners) and secretary of Benin Traditional Council, Mr, Frank Irabor, were seen interrogating Idusere.

In the video, he agreed that he was not an Enogie and was not given coral beads by the Oba.

Irabor informed him of the consequences of parading himself as an Enogie and using royalty insignia on his car.

Idusere was also accused of using the insignia to sell land, settle traditional dispute illegally and passing sensitive information to some people like Murphy Face.

Murphy Face is reputed to using the social media to denigrate the Bénin Kingdom and its royalty.

Idusere, who denied conniving with others to denigrate the palace by using various social media platforms, agreed to swear any oath on any altar (juju) in the palace.

He was heard explaining how he wanted to form the Benin Royal Army since the sect belonged to the last line of defence.

Idusere was later seen on his pants on swearing after a cock was slaughtered

It was gathered that Idusere would be arraigned today for violating the Edo State Chieftaincy and Traditional Rulers’ Law.
