The Palace of the Oba of Benin was agog on Sunday as Oba Ewuare II performed the naming ceremony for his quadruplets amid fun fare and merriment.
The royal naming ceremony was witnessed by dignitaries from all works of life.
The quadruplets were delivered last year August by Her Royal Highness, Oloi Aisosa Ewuare.
The colourful event began at the presidential office of the palace with a formal presentation of the babies to entire royal family members, chiefs and top palace functionaries by the Oba.
