Actor Dr Don Pedro Obaseki Abd¥cted, Str+pped, and H¥miliated while playing football

Nigerian actor and cultural advocate, Dr Don Pedro Obaseki, has recounted a harrowing experience of abd¥ction, a+sa¥lt, and public h¥miliation by a group of men who dragged him to the Oba of Benin Palace on Sunday in Benin City.

Speaking to African Independent Television (AIT), Obaseki said the incident occurred around 11:00–11:30 a.m. while playing football with Uwa All Stars at Uwa Primary School. He described how ass+ilants, some armed, suddenly invaded the ground, abd¥cted him, and forcibly dragged him through several streets including Igbesawan Street, Akpakpava Road, and Ring Road where he was stri+ped n@ked in public before being taken to the palace premises. Obaseki, a cousin of former Edo Governor Godwin Obaseki, said the att@ckers claimed they were sent by the palace but failed to show any form of identification when requested.

“I begged them to show me some form of ID, of course not. I was dragged, beaten severely, manhandled… and taken into the palace,” he explained. The actor said the ordeal left him tra¥matized, especially given his lifelong contributions to Benin culture.

Following the incident, he was taken to a police station along Oba Market Road, where the Edo State Commissioner of Police intervened, personally visiting him multiple times before ordering his release.

Obaseki revealed that the alleged offence stemmed from comments he made during a recent visit to London, where he wished “Edo gha to’kperewa” (“May Edo people live long and prosper”) instead of “Oba gha to’kpere” (“May the Oba live long and prosper”), which he was told constituted a serious cultural violation.

Public outrage has continued to grow, with calls for accountability and a full investigation into the actions of those involved in the as+a¥lt and abd¥ction. The incident occurs against the backdrop of long-standing tension between the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II, and former Governor Godwin Obaseki, particularly over disputes surrounding cultural heritage, administration of Benin artifacts, and traditional authority in Edo State.

Obaseki said police later intervened and ordered his release, adding that palace chiefs told him the abduction was unauthorised.

The incident has sparked public outrage and renewed calls for investigation and accountability.

Lawyer Demands Probe After Actor Don Pedro Obaseki Is Stripped, Assaulted, Dragged to Benin Palace Over ‘Disrespect’ Allegations

An entertainment lawyer, Rockson A. Igelige, has called for an urgent investigation after Nigerian actor Dr Don Pedro Obaseki was allegedly ambushed, kidnapped, stripped to his boxers, assaulted, and forcibly dragged to the Oba of Benin’s palace in Benin City. The incident, reportedly carried out by youths claiming to act on behalf of the Benin Traditional Council, followed accusations that the actor disrespected the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II. Igelige described the act as criminal, barbaric, and a gross violation of Obaseki’s fundamental human rights, urging the Edo State Government and security agencies to ensure all perpetrators are held accountable, regardless of status or affiliation.

VIDEO: Thugs Allegedly Acting for Benin Traditional Council Assault, Strip Actor Don Pedro Obaseki, Drag Him to Palace Over ‘Disrespect’ Claims

Nigerian actor Dr Don Pedro Obaseki was allegedly seized, stripped, and assaulted by a group of youths said to be acting on behalf of the Benin Traditional Council over claims that he disrespected the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II. The incident, captured in a viral video, showed the actor stripped to his boxers, forced to kneel and crawl within the Benin Kingdom Palace premises before being taken inside to meet palace officials. Sources said the action was linked to Obaseki’s recent participation in a London event organised in honour of his cousin, former Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki, who has been at the centre of a long-running dispute with the Benin Palace. The controversy is rooted in years of tension between the former governor and the Oba over control of repatriated Benin artefacts, traditional authority, and alleged withholding of statutory allocations to the Benin Traditional Council. The incident has sparked public outrage and renewed debate over the use of mob action, traditional authority, and the limits of cultural enforcement in Nigeria.

Actor Threatens To Lead Mass Boycott Of Al Jazeera Over Article Denying ‘Christian Genocide’ In Nigeria.

Okechukwu’s intervention came after Al Jazeera published an opinion article by Gimba Kakanda, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Research and Analytics, on October 2, 2025.

Nigerian actor and media consultant Joseph Chidi Okechukwu, also known as J. C. Okechukwu, has threatened to lead a mass boycott of Qatar-based global news network Al Jazeera after the outlet published an opinion piece denying that Christians in Nigeria are the victims of a coordinated, faith-targeted extermination.

Okechukwu’s intervention came after Al Jazeera published an opinion article by Gimba Kakanda, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Research and Analytics, on October 2, 2025.

The Al Jazeera piece argued that claims of a “Christian genocide” mischaracterise Nigeria’s complex security crises and risk inflaming divisions.

The controversy has played out publicly on social media, where Okechukwu used his X account to issue a direct challenge to the broadcaster and to the author of the piece.

“Hi @AlJazeera World if you don't take this post down and tender unreserved apology to the grieving Christian faithfuls in Nigeria, we will carry out a massive boycott campaign the likes of which you've never seen before,” he wrote.

Okechukwu accused the network of a double standard in its global reporting, saying, “It is such a shame that you guys had your global viewers glued to your TV as you constantly screamed genocide over Israel’s actions in Gaza, only to turn around and deny the genocide of Christians in Nigeria that has gone on for more than a decade, which you’ve never reported.”

He also cited casualty figures, asking: “There are reports that about 70,100 Palestinians were killed and the whole world unanimously called it a genocide. In Nigeria, Christian deaths has since surpassed 125,000 and counting and you claim there’s no Christian Genocide?

“Seyi Tinubu Didn’t Add My Video Because of My English!” — Lege Miami Speaks Out on Birthday Tribute Snub


Popular Nigerian actor and matchmaker, Lege Miami, whose real name is Adams Kehinde, has finally addressed his absence from the viral birthday tribute video made for Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The trending tribute, which featured some of Nigeria’s biggest personalities — including Burna Boy, Femi Otedola, Aliko Dangote, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and Olamide Badoo — left fans wondering why Lege, a self-proclaimed close associate of Seyi, was not included.

Many social media users teased Lege Miami over the omission, prompting the actor to respond. In a new video, Lege revealed that his “poor English” was the reason his clip didn’t make it into the final cut.

“Because I cannot speak good English, Seyi did not add my video to the post,” he said jokingly, adding that people should not blame Seyi for the decision.


However, reactions flooded social media, with some fans disagreeing with Lege’s explanation.

@mz_lara commented:

“I don’t think it’s because you can’t speak English. Even market women and Amala sellers spoke Yoruba in the video. You need to stop being controversial; that’s why people avoid associating with you.”



@kenny_alert added:

“Your problem is not bad English but low self-esteem. Let that go, and you’ll realize you’re fine the way you are.”



While some mocked his grammar — quoting his line “Seyi is not added my video” — others defended him, calling him a loyal friend who always stands by Seyi Tinubu.

One fan wrote:

“A true friend will love you no matter how dull you are. Seyi should appreciate Lege — he’s always had his back.”

Despite the teasing, Lege Miami took the criticism in stride, laughing off the remarks and keeping his trademark humor alive.

Tee Famous Reveals How His Strict Deeper Life Father Discovered His Acting Career

Nigerian actor, former production manager, and Afrobeats singer Tee Famous has shared the intriguing story of how his father, a strict Deeper Life member, initially disapproved of his acting ambitions—until fate changed everything.

Speaking on Talk-to-B, Tee Famous explained that he began acting in secret, relying on his married sister to cover for him. Whenever he went to movie sets, he would tell his family he was at her house, and she would confirm the story whenever their parents asked.

This arrangement worked until one evening when his father unexpectedly saw him on a local TV station. Though shocked, his father said nothing. But the real turning point came when people at his father’s mechanic workshop began congratulating him on having a son in the movie industry.

From that day, Tee Famous said, his father’s perspective changed completely, shifting from skepticism to support for his career.

“My dad is a Deeper Life member, and you know what that means. I couldn’t tell him directly. My sister always covered for me until one day, he saw me on TV. At first, he didn’t say anything, but when people started hailing him at his workshop, everything changed. From that moment, he began to think differently about the job.”


The actor revealed that reconciling his passion with his father’s approval gave him the courage to keep pursuing both film and music.
