The Origbo traditional rulers: HRM Oba Adesoji Kehinde Oladepo, Salu of Edunabon; HRM Oba Mufutau Babawale Oyekanmi, Alasipa of Asipa; HRM Oba (Dr) Meshach Oyewole Oyediran, Olulamokun of Yakooyo; and HRM Oba OluwaBusola Oloyede, the Alakinlalu of Akinlalu, have demanded the immediate retraction of the unguided, libelous, and false allegation made by Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba AbdulRasheed Adewale Akanbi, against His Imperial Majesty, Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, that Ooni conspired with Oluwo's ex-wife to poison him.
The Origbo Traditional Rulers made this known through a communique signed and sent through their lawyer to Oluwo and made available to pressmen on Friday.
The Ife North Traditional rulers noted that since Oluwo of Iwoland has failed to establish his allegation against the Permanent Chairman of Osun State Council of Obas that he conspired with his ex-wife to poison him.
They added that they would have chosen not to dignify Oluwo with a response but for the purpose of clarity, as they briefed their law firm to write him to substantiate this allegation with material and substantial facts or evidence, and said there is a need to seek the appropriate legal redress on behalf of Ooni.
The Origbo traditional rulers: HRM Oba Adesoji Kehinde Oladepo, Salu of Edunabon; HRM Oba Mufutau Babawale Oyekanmi, Alasipa of Asipa; HRM Oba (Dr) Meshach Oyewole Oyediran, Olulamokun of Yakooyo; and HRM Oba OluwaBusola Oloyede, the Alakinlalu of Akinlalu, therefore gave Oluwo three days' grace to retract his statement or allegation in three national dailies.
They are: The Nation, Tribune, and Punch, as well as all social media outlets which include: Facebook, X (formerly known as Twitter), Instagram, TikTok, among others.
They maintained that failure of Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba AbdulRasheed Adewale Akanbi, to retract his unguided statement made to the public against the Chairman of Southern Nigeria Traditional Council will be redressed legally.
They observed that it is expedient to bring to Oluwo's notice the historical background of Iwoland to the effect that Oluwo is a descendant of Luwo Gbagida, the 24th Ooni of Ife, which is not in doubt that Ooni Adeyeye is a superior king in the Yoruba race whose name cannot be dressed in a "borrowed robe" or rubbished by any king whatsoever.
It will be recalled that the Origbo traditional rulers in Ife North, in a communique signed and read by Salu of Edunabon, Oba Adesoji Oladepo Akinrinsa II, on behalf of Ife North Chieftaincy Committee at the press conference on Thursday, October 2nd, in Edunabon.
During the press conference, they gave Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba AbdulRasheed Adewale Akanbi, a 21-day ultimatum to sue the Chairman of Nigerian Council of Traditional Rulers or petition the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to substantiate his allegation before the expiration of the 21-day ultimatum, which he has failed to do.
