Osun state traditional rulers council has suspended the Oluwo of Iwoland, for six months over his attempt to drag the institution into the mud with his public conduct by allegedly assaulting the Agbowu of Ogbaagba, Dhikrulahi Akinropo, during a peace meeting last week in Osogbo, Osun State.
The council at its emergency meeting presided by the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, held at the Finance Building at the State Secretariat on Friday 21st February 2020, banned the monarch from attending its meetings. The council also set up a committee headed by Orangun of Ila, Oba Wahab Adedotun, to further investigate issues involving Oluwo and Obas in Iwo land.
Addressing journalists after the meeting, the Orangun of Ila, Oba Wahab Adedotun said the decision was not because of the alleged fight between the Oluwo and Agbowu but due to his misconduct to other traditional rulers in Yorubaland, including the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, Alake of Egbaland and the Ooni of Ile-Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi.
