There was a secret coronation, however,  before the open ceremony.

NAN correspondent at the event said the crowning ceremony was performed at about 3.30 am today at Usama Palace, far from the prying eyes of cameras and press men.

It was witnessed by very close loyalists of the new king.

A  mammoth crowd later today escorted the new king  from Usama palace to Orho-Okpata in Benin.

The  crowd had waited patiently while chanting songs of praises and incantation before the King  came out exactly 1:05 pm and finally left the palace by 1:20 pm.

As it is the ritual, the Oba of Benin walked  through Oreogene and stopped by at Oloto palace, one of the seven Chiefs that performed the crowning ceremony at dawn.

The Oba  thereafter visited a shrine at Iwehen junction to pay homage.
