Iduozee Efe Paul, Benin 

The Obaseki family has expressed great displeasure over the humiliation, molestation and dehumanization of former  Managing Director of Daar Communications, Dr. Don Perdro Obaseki who was stripped naked on Sunday 28, 2025, Benin city.

They made the statements in a press conference in Benin city, said they are absolutely in support of Dr. Don Pedro Agbonifo Obaseki's action to seek full legal redress and recompense on the matter in order to stamp the rule of law over jungle justice.

Speaking on behalf of the Family, the Okaegbe of Obaseki Family Worldwide, Pa. Daniel Igbinovia Obaseki, condemned the manner in which he was beaten added,"No father, mother, brother, sister, or person of good conscience can witness such sordid humiliation of a son of Benin—a respected professional, cultural ambassador, and member of a front-line, noble family—without being profoundly shaken. 


" The Obaseki Council has been deeply disturbed by the deplorable incident of mob violence and public humiliation meted out in broad daylight to our son, Dr. Don Pedro Agbonifo Obaseki, on Sunday, 28th December 2025, by suspected individuals who are neither palace functionaries nor agents of the state.

"The Obaseki Council wishes to state categorically, that it is not political or partisan. Our family has always been robust enough to accommodate diverse political views and personal convictions, provided they are exercised with civility, respect for others, and strict adherence to the law. 

,"On these counts, Dr. Don Pedro Agbonifo Obaseki has conducted himself honorably, and we find no justification whatsoever for the violence visited upon him. 

"The Obaseki Council is deeply mindful of the exalted position of the Palace of the Oba of Benin as a unifying force and role model for ALL Benin People. Nothing should be done by non Palace functionaries to diminish these. 

"In the interest of public order, justice, and societal balance, the Obaseki Council supports the use of lawful and impartial processes to ascertain the facts surrounding this incident and to hold accountable any persons foundation to have committed criminal acts.

" Accountability, pursued calmly and lawfully, is essential to prevent a dangerous descent into anarchy and to reassure law abiding citizens that no one is above the law. 


Given their support for  the law to take its place, they posited," the Obaseki Council is in absolute support of Dr Don Pedro Agbonifo Obaseki's action to seek full legal redress and recompense on this matter in order to stamp the rule of law over jungle justice. 

"We are confident that the law enforcement authorities will take up this matter to its logical conclusion. The Obaseki name has long been carved in Gold through diligent services, sacrifices, and contributions, over centuries. 

"The law is there against illegalities and threats. We urge our children to go about their lives and uphold our proud legacy—firmly, peacefully, and always within constitutional boundaries. 

" We urge calm, restraint, and reflection. This moment calls for wisdom, not incitement; for justice, not vengeance; but strong resolve to restore sanity and the reaffirmation of the finest values of the Benin People."
