It was presumed to have been a rumour until the kings involved in the physical assault affirmed it that it was a case of of self defence.




Earlier yesterday, the traditional rulers in Iwoland in Osun West senatorial district were thrown into confusion when a first class king in the area, Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi suddenly descended on another monarch, Oba Dhirulahi Akinropo, Agbowu of Agbaagbaa and allegedly beat him to stupour.


The disgusting incident according to assaulted king, occurred at the office of the Assistant Inspector General of Police, Zone 11.


Oluwo was allegedly to have attacked and punched Oba Akinropo. According to available information, the attack occured before the AIG and other monarchs from Iwoland when they were called to a meeting for settlement over land tussle in the area.


A source said the Oluwo has been asking the monarchs to stop selling lands because the lands in Iwoland belong to him and the monarchs resisted, a situation that prompted the AIG to summon meeting to forestall breakdown of laws and order. The source said: it was in the course of the meeting that Oluwo gave the Agbowu a punch on his face and this brought an end to the peace meeting.“Oluwo was the first to get out of the meeting in annoyance, creating scene and shouting within the AIG’s office“Me, Oluwo, Agbowu is calling me a mad man. Ordinary Baales want to be challenging me. I will show you my worth and there will be war in the entire Iwoland.


“I am the only Oba in Iwoland, others are Baales that I gave land, they now want to be challenging me. Can any Baale in Ifeland do that to Ooni”```, he fumed.


Another monarch at the meeting, the source said, was heard commenting that Oluwo has gone beyond his boundary and would be dealt with and even vacate the stool. As at the time of filling this report Oba Akinropo was still at the trauma centre for treatment.

However, Oluwo has reacted to the allegations by saying that he acted on self defence because it was the Oba of Ogbagba that first pointed the staff of office at him, and he considered that as a disrespectful act.
