The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi is in hot soup.

Some traditional rulers in Osun State have issued a 21-day ultimatum to Oba Abdulrosheed to substantiate his claim that the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, is plotting to assassinate him.

The traditional rulers under the aegis of ‘Origbo meje Obas’ said:

“There is no gainsaying about the supremacy of the throne of the Ooni of Ife as the Head of all Obas in Yorubaland. Records are in the archive for verifications regarding the outbursts of Oluwo of Iwoland against the Ooni of Ife.

“Therefore it is surprising that Oluwo is the only Oba in Yoruba land that is changing his title in every six months from Emir of Iwo to Alaafin of Iwo to gain undue media recognition and the actions of Oluwo is bringing disrepute and ridicule to the thrones of all Obas in Yorubaland.”

“We hereby give the Oluwo 21 days to substantiate his claims against the Ooni, failure to do so will leave us with no choice but to take legal action against him at the expiration of this ultimatum.”

Oba Abdulrosheed alleged in a viral video circulating on social media that the Ooni of Ife orchestrated a plot to assassinate him by using his ex-wife, Queen Chanel.
