Benedict Peters: Envy-Fueled Fiction Fails to Tarnish Legacy

False allegations against Peters crumble as truth prevails

by Adenike Adeodun

Key Points


  • Benedict Peters has made a significant impact on Africa’s economy through his successful businesses.

  • False claims, such as the one about using an armed militia, have been proven to be lies.

  • Peters earned his wealth through hard work and smart business decisions.


Benedict Peters is known for his success in business and his dedication to building Africa’s future. However, some have tried to tarnish his reputation with false stories. These attempts have failed, and instead, they’ve shown just how strong and determined he is.

False claims and the truth

Peters has faced many challenges but always comes out stronger. His businesses, like Aiteo Group, have helped improve economies across Africa by creating jobs and supporting industries. Recently, some media outlets in Ghana spread a false story that Peters had been arrested for using an “armed militia” to block access to a luxury estate near the Jubilee House in Accra.

Veteran journalist Chief Dele Momodu quickly called out this claim, saying it was an overblown lie. He spoke directly with Peters and confirmed that no arrest took place. The issue was a simple misunderstanding that was cleared up by Ghanaian authorities. The false story quickly fell apart.

Why are these attacks happening?

So, why do people try to make up lies about Peters? The real reason is envy. Peters has worked hard to build his wealth through business ventures, not shortcuts.

His companies, including Aiteo Group, have helped develop Nigeria’s energy sector and provide jobs for many. His success is not something to be ashamed of—it’s a sign of what hard work and vision can achieve.

Some have also criticized Peters for owning luxury cars. But for a man who has built multi-billion-dollar businesses, what is a luxury car other than a symbol of success? There’s no reason to criminalize success when it is earned through honest work.

Peters: A visionary, not a villain

Peters is not a troublemaker; he is an investor and a builder. His work has helped strengthen economies and improve lives across Africa. His contributions to Ghana’s economy are just as important, showing that his presence is a benefit, not a threat.

Attacking Peters is not just about hurting him—it’s about undermining Africa’s potential. Peters’ story is one of success, not scandal. He shows what is possible when hard work, vision, and resilience come together.
