Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, Oluwo of Iwoland has denied beating up Oba Dhikurulahi Akinropo, Agbowu of Ogbaagbaa.

He said; “I want you to tell the whole world that I, Oba Abdulrosheed did not punch the Agbowu at any point during the meeting. Although, he was rude to me during the meeting which almost led to an altercation but I didn’t punch him.”

“I don’t know how he came about the scratch on his face. Whatever is in the media out there was an act of mischief by those who want to manipulate the media to their own advantage.”

“If I had wanted to be a boxing king, I would do that better in Iwo where I had meetings with them on the need to stop indiscriminate selling of lands, especially lands that belong to common men. What I was telling them is to stop grabbing peoples’ lands and using the police force to oppress them.”

“These monarchs were living in poverty before they ascended those thrones, only to turn against their subjects. I have never sold any land rather I provide means of livelihood to the people and that is what I am fighting against.”
