The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdurasheed Adewale Akanbi is very angry with the the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II.

Insiders said the Ooni’s Chief Security officer allegedly assaulted the the Iwo king  at the Presidential Hotel during the traditional rulers summit in Port- Harcourt, Rivers State.

We gathered that the Ooni of Ife had just finished giving a vote of thanks and was on his way back to his seat when his CSO, Mr. Emmanuel Olawale Kolawole, who led other security aides of the monarch allegedly had a clash with the Oluwo, who appeared to be blocking the Ooni from accessing his seat.

Sources said The Oluwo was discussing with the Minister of Interior, Lt Gen. Abdurahman Dambazzau, who shared the high table with the Ooni and the Rivers State gover, Nyesome Wike.

Sources said the CSO threatened to push the monarch if he did not give way for Ooni to pass. He ignored Oba Akanbi’s entreaties to “take it easy” and pushed him out of the way. He embarrassed the Oluwo, who is the Deputy Chairman of the Osun State Traditional Rulers Council.

Dignitaries at the event were shocked that the Ooni’s CSO could have the effrontery to push a first class paramount ruler of Oluwo’s status.
