The Oluwo of Iwo, Abdulrosheed Akanbi, has explained the reason why he is not on friendly terms with some monarchs in Osun State.
Mr Akanbi made this known in a statement personally signed by him and made available to journalists in his palace on Monday.He explained that monarchs in Iwo, Ola-Oluwa and Ayedire local governments of the state comprising Iwoland “are inflicting hardship on their subjects”.
While the meeting was ongoing, Mr Akanbi allegedly stood up from where he was sitting and ‘descended’ on Mr Akinropo which led to the latter being rushed to the hospital. The monarch said what transpired “was a case of the oppressor fighting back against the defender of the oppressed, their victims” “I feel bad about the strong oppressing the weak and the vulnerable in the society because I always feel the pains of the people that why would something like this happen in Iwoland Traditional Council.”
