The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi, has stirred major controversy after opening up about his strained relationship with the Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi.
In a viral statement, Oluwo claimed that he could never reconcile with the Ooni, alleging betrayal and deep personal conflicts.
According to him, the Ooni once set him up by introducing a woman into his life, who later became his wife but eventually turned into an ex. The Oluwo alleged that the woman stayed in his home for over three years, had a child whose paternity he is now questioning, and even poisoned him twice.
He further accused the Ooni of supporting the woman even after their fallout, claiming that the monarch provided her and the child with accommodation. He said that he caught Ooni of Ife and his ex-wife together in the hotel.
“Can you forgive such? This fight is forever,” Oluwo declared, insisting that the rift between him and the Ooni can never be resolved.
In his words; “Ooni and I can never settle our f!ght. I helped him to be on the throne yet he is looking for my downfall. He packaged a woman for me. The woman was in my house and he was talking to her and setting me up with videos, pictures, etc. It was death he sent to my house. She is now an ex wife. She was in my house for over 3 years and she had a child
I am not even sure of the paternity of the child, I need to do a DNA. She po!soned me twice. After I kicked her out, everybody should ask Ooni what the two of them were doing in the hotel. He then rented an apartment for her and her child. If you all were in my shoes, can you forgive such? This f!ght is forever.”
