Oluwo-of-Iwo

Traditional rulers in Ife North Local Government of Osun, have issued a 21-day ultimatum to Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi, to retract his recent allegation against the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi.
The traditional rulers gave the ultimatum in a communique issued at the end of their meeting and read by Salu of Edunabon, Oba Adesoji Oladepo, on Thursday in Edunabon.

The Oluwo had in a viral video posted on his official Facebook page, accused the Ooni of plotting to assassinate him by allegedly “packaging” his ex-wife against him.

The traditional rulers described Oba Akanbi’s comments as an insult and disrespect to the Ooni of Ife.

The traditional rulers, however, threatened to drag Oba Akanbi to court if he failed to take either of the two steps to proof his allegation against the Ooni.

They recalled that Oluwo’s alleged attacked on Agbowu of Ogbaagba led to the Oba’s sustaining injury and hospitalised.

According to them, this action led to Oluwo’s six-month suspension from the meeting of the council traditional rulers in the state.
