Oluwo of Iwo Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi has responded to the Ooni of Ife Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi who recently alleged he was walked out “like a child” from his palace.
The Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi on Sunday in a trending TikTok video revealed that he was chased out when he visited the Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi.
Speaking, the Ooni of Ife said, “When I visited Oluwo, he chased me out like a child, since that incident, I have always maintained myself going close to him. Now that you people (attendees) are imploring that I visit him again, what if he does what he likes to me?
“But I have to contain his excesses as an elder, although I am a young person sitting on the throne of the elders. Oluwo, I greet you.”
Reacting, Oba Akanbi through his spokesman Alli Ibrahim on Monday, said the video was old and that the Ooni has never been to his palace.
“The trending video is old and that there was never a time Ooni came to the palace. The palace will officially react to the trending video,” he said.
