**Benin Palace Scandal: Peller Speaks Out**
In a shocking turn of events, popular TikTok creator and streamer, Hamzat Habeeb Adelaja, also known as Peller, has broken his silence on the controversies surrounding his alleged unauthorized visit to the Oba Ewuare II's palace in Benin City and a N395 million lawsuit filed against him.
During a recent live stream, Peller maintained his innocence, stating that he was not personally responsible for the incidents. He claimed that he acted on the instructions of his manager and was unaware of any breach of protocol during his visit to the palace on March 6, 2026.
The Benin Traditional Council (BTC) had described Peller's visit as a violation of palace protocol and a desecration of sacred grounds. The council alleged that Peller and his team entered the palace without official approval, leading to disciplinary measures, including the suspension of a chief and the arrest of a palace staff member.
Peller's visit to the palace has sparked a heated debate in Nigeria, with many Nigerians expressing their outrage on social media. The council has also summoned Peller to appear before its committee and issue a written apology, warning of possible legal action if he fails to comply.
But that's not all - Peller is also facing a N395 million lawsuit from Lagos resident, Osarobo Odigie, over an alleged incident at a lounge in Lekki. The claimant is accusing Peller of defamation, cyber harassment, invasion of privacy, and causing emotional distress after allegedly recording and sharing a video of a confrontation without her consent.
Peller has denied the allegations, stating that his hands are clean and that he did nothing wrong. However, the allegations have sparked a heated debate on social media, with many Nigerians expressing their opinions on the matter.
It's worth noting that Peller's fame has made him a household name in Nigeria, with millions of followers on social media. His actions and decisions are closely watched by his fans and the general public, making this scandal a topic of interest for many Nigerians.
As the saga continues to unfold, one thing is clear - Peller's reputation is on the line, and he will need to clear his name to restore his image and credibility in the eyes of the public.
