The Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba (Dr.) Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi has dismissed his suspension by the Osun State Traditional Council, saying it is ‘audio’ a street slang for ‘fake’.
Oluwo, who has been in the news over alleged assault on another traditional ruler at a meeting in Osogbo, Osun State capital last weekend, was suspended as a member of Osun traditional Council on Friday.
The Traditional Council, however, said Oluwo was suspended because of his disrespect to other monarchs of higher status in the past, including the Ooni of Ife who presided over the meeting in which he was suspended on Friday.
According to the embattled monarch, the suspension is political adding that the point given by the council was porous, lacking logic and do not portray the revered traditional council in good light as they refused to address the allegation that he punched a monarch.
He also faulted the participation of Ooni in the meeting in which he was suspended.
