Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, has reacted to the allegation that he beat Agbowu of Ogbaagbaa, Oba Dhirulahi.

He said he only defended himself against the attempt of Agbowu to stick his eyes with his staff of office.

Oluwo in a message by his Chief Press Secretary on Facebook stated he was truly invited by the authority of the police to make peace on his stance curtailing excess land selling by monarchs under his domain, a pronouncement that was not go down well with those affected as they regroup to act against the authority of Oluwo who gave them the crown.

“At the peace meeting held at AIG office, Agbowu of Ogbaagbaa interrupted Oluwo while making his speech and called Oba Akanbi unprintable names, pointing his staff of office at Oluwo while attempt to stick the staff in his eyes was defended.

“How could a constable openly insult commissioner of police and make attempt to beat the CP? Can any monarch try such with Ooni, Alaafin?

“The palace of Oluwo called on governor Gboyega Oyetola to intervene before all the lands in Iwoland are sold by these lesser Obas crowned by the Oluwo of Iwoland to avert imminent crisis in the land.
