The Ife North Chieftaincy Committee has threatened legal action against Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba AbdulRasheed Akanbi, over his comment that Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja 11, conspired with his ex-wife to poison him. In a Communique signed and read by Salu of Edunabon( HRM ), Adesoji Kehinde Oladepo Akinrinsa 11, on behalf of the Ife North Chieftaincy Committee at the Press Conference, on Thursday, in Edunabon.
HRM Oladepo said that Oluwo's action of misbehaviour, insult, and disrespect to Ooni is bringing disrepute and ridicule to the throne of all Obas in Yorubaland, nd which would not be tolerated again.
Salu emphasised that Obas in Origbo Ife North Local Government were surprised that Oluwo, who's the descendants of Luwo Gbagida, the 24th Ooni of Ife in history can behave irrationally to present Ooni.
HRM Oladepo maintained that they give 21-day ultimatum to Oluwo to write the Inspector-General of Police, Mr Kayode Egbetokun or sue Ooni to proof the acclaimed allegation.
According to him, if Oluwo failed to write the IG, Obas in Ife North Local Government will sue him on to court at the expiration of this ultimatum.
It would be recalled that Oba Akanbi has previously had issues with his fellow Obas in Iwo Axis, such as Olu of Ile-Igbo, the Olowu of Kuta, the Olu of Songbe, the Agbowu of Ogbaagba among others.
Salu stated further that Oluwo attacked Agbowu of Ogbaagba which was injured and hospitalized, leading to his six-month suspension from the council meeting. He later claimed that Ooni does not have power to suspend him from the State Council-of-Obas' meeting
