According to reports,
Abdulrosheed Akanbi attacked a fellow monarch on Friday during a peace meeting
with Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of zone 11, Bashir Makama
in Osogbo, Osun State.
Controversial monarch,
Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, has reacted to the
allegation that he beat Agbowu of Ogbaagbaa, Oba Sikiru, saying he only defended
himself against the attempt of Agbowu to stick his eyes with his staff of
office.
The aim of the meeting was
to resolve a land tussle among royal fathers within the Iwo axis.
However, in a statement
from the palace, Oluwo stated that he was truly invited by the authority of the
police to make peace on his stance curtailing excess land selling by monarchs
under his domain.
According to him ”At the
peace meeting held at AIG office, Agbowu of Ogbaagbaa interrupted Oluwo while
making his speech and called Oba Akanbi unprintable names, pointing his staff
of office at Oluwo while attempt to stick the staff in his eyes was defended”.
“How could a constable
openly insult commissioner of police and make attempt to beat the CP? Can any
monarch try such with Ooni, Alaafin”?
The palace of Oluwo called
on governor Gboyega Oyetola to intervene before all the lands in Iwoland are
sold by these lesser Obas crowned by the Oluwo of Iwoland to avert an imminent
crisis in the land.
