The temperamental Oba Akanbi, who has acquired a reputation for settling minor scores fiercely and pugilistically, was alleged to be the aggressor when he manhandled Oba Akinropo in the presence of Assistant Inspector General of Police Bashir Makama, over some long-standing land disputes involving many obas in Iwoland.
The Oluwo insists he is the victim, being the complainant trying to stop the other obas in Iwoland from oppressing their subjects and nefariously selling lands that did not belong to them. “I did not punch Agbowu of Ogbaagba, although there was altercation that almost resulted to exchange of blows, but that didn’t happen at all,” the Oluwo said. But Oba Akinropo and many of the obas who attended the meeting insist that the Oluwo was not just the aggressor, he also manhandled the Agbowu.
The Oluwo had it coming. He luxuriates in controversy, becoming perhaps the most controversial oba in the Southwest, not just for his comic actions and statements, but for his cantankerousness and absolute lack of reverence for senior monarchs in the state.
