The Osun State Traditional Rulers’ Council (OSTRC) has suspended embattled Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi, for six months.
He was suspended for alleged assault on the Agbowu of Ogbaagba, Dhikrulahi Akinropo, during a peace meeting last week in Osogbo, Osun State.
The council also set up a committee headed by Orangun of Ila, Oba Wahab Adedotun, to further investigate issues involving Oluwo and Obas in Iwo land.
The decision was taken at an emergency meeting at Osun State Government Secretariat, Abere, with Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, presiding.
The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi has not responded to his suspension. So, at this time, it is not clear whether he is going to challenge or accept the suspension.
