It explained that the suspension was due to their long absence from the palace, resulting in their failure to carry out their palace responsibilities.
The statement advised the public to be wary of “unscrupulous chiefs” who were no longer functioning in the palace.
It said that the suspension had been approved by the Oba of Benin.
