Oluwo mocks Osun monarchs over suspension [VIDEO]

The Oluwo of Iwo, Abdulrosheed Akanbi, has mocked the Osun State Council of Traditional Rulers over his suspension.

The Oluwo, in a 58 seconds video uploaded on his WhatsApp status in the late hours of Friday, disclosed that the kings who claimed to have suspended him were just joking.

The video was shot from his throne at his palace in Iwo.

He said: “Good evening, you can see that I’m still in the palace. This is the palace of Oluwo of Iwo land. There was no suspension, there is no suspension. The suspension of those council of Obas is audio…. Na just audio”

“There’s no suspension. Mapariwo ooo. The AIG cleared it. Oluwo didn’t punch anybody. So, don’t listen to some people saying that they can suspend me… I don’t have to go to their meetings. I don’t care about their meetings. I remain the Alase Lori Orisa… Arole Eledumare”, he said in his speech while laughing.

The Osun traditional rulers’ council met for three hours in Osogbo and suspended Mr Akanbi.

The meeting was presided by the Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Ogunwusi.

The Orangun of Ila Orangun, Wahab Adedotun, was quoted saying: “Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi has been suspended for six months.”

The council alleged that Mr Akanbi’s indecent acts to some monarchs, including the Alaafin of Oyo, Lamidi Adeyemi; Alake of Egbaland and the Ooni of Ife necessitated his suspension.
