Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi, has accused the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, of setting him up with his former Canadian wife.
Oluwo made this allegation amid the ongoing feud between the two Yoruba royal fathers.
Oluwo made the fresh allegation while reacting to the news of his suspension by the Ooni of Ife in a now trending Instagram video.
Oluwo, who claimed to have assisted Ogunwusi to ascend the throne, accused the Ooni of attempting to kill him.
Also speaking about his marriage with Chanel Chin, his estranged Canadian wife, Oluwo alleged that he divorced her after he found out that the Ooni planted her to set him up.
Oluwo alleged, “What is Ooni of Ife doing with my ex wife in the hotel?”
“This message is for Nigerians, most especially the Yorubas. I’m saying this because I want other Nigerians to know. When I get on the throne, you see me talking about Ooni Adeyeye. What you don’t know, I will tell you today.
“Governor of Osun State, Commissioners and all, I helped Ooni Adeyeye but because he’s worshipping an idol and me, God has put me above orisa (idol) as a king and because of that as a king maker, I’m the one that helped Ooni to become a king. He doesn’t want me to say the story in the future and he was looking for my downfall. Then the next thing, they packaged a woman for me from Canada. I don’t know her. She was packaged for me as a set up.
“When they set me up. She was in my house, and they were talking to her and setting me up with videos and many things. She will be asking me certain questions in the bedroom. This supposed wife was an agent of death sent to my house. She was in my house for three years, she had a child which I don’t even know if the child is mine right now, I have to confirm that through DNA.
“Because they want her to kill me. She poisoned me two times, they set up assassination attempts, they did many things so that their orisa, their gods will kill me but they failed. When I found out about this secret and kicked this woman out, it was the same Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi that lodged her. Ask him what he was doing with the lady at the hotel. I won’t mention the hotel name now but I will do that later. What are they with each other inside the hotel? He was the one that accommodated her and rented a house for her.
“This fight cannot be resolved. It will continue. I heard a report that Ooni suspended me, Ooni can never suspend me. Can a paramount ruler suspend another paramount ruler? Never. There’s more to come after this,” Oluwo stated.
Recall that Oluwo announced divorce from his Canadian wife, Chanel Chin, in 2019.
