Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi has been suspended for six months by the Osun State Traditional Rulers Council.

The council at its emergency meeting held at the Finance Building at the State Secretariat on Friday, February 21, 2020 banned the monarch from attending its meetings and also constituted a committee headed by Orangun of Ila, Oba Wahab Adedotun to further investigate the matter.

The Orangun of Ila, Oba Wahab Adedotun disclosed while addressing journalists after the meeting that the decision was not because of alleged fight between the Oluwo and Agbowu but due to his conduct to other traditional rulers in Yorubaland, including the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, Alake of Egbaland and the Ooni of Ile-Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi.

The Oluwo was alleged to have punched a fellow monarch, the Agbowu of Ogbaagbaa, Oba Dhikurulahi Akinropo during a peace meeting at the instance of the Assistant Inspector General of Police Zone XI, Bashir Makama at his office in the state.
