The commissioner of Police in Osun State, Mr Fimihan Adeoye has said that he was not aware of any bench warrant of arrest against the Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi.

The police boss said he has not been briefed about the development and warned that the police should not be dragged into Obaship tussle because of the sensitivity of such matter.

His words “I have not been briefed about any bench warrant of arrest against the Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi. Police cannot be dragged into this because Obaship tussle is a sensitive matter. We have our legal department in the police and we will act appropriately within the ambit of the law”.

In a chat with Amiloaded Correspondent, Oba Akanbi also denied the knowledge of bench warrant of arrest against him and cautioned against any attempt to denigrate traditional institution.

Another traditional ruler, the Oluwo ke of Iwo-Oke, Oba Kadiri Adeoye had filed a case against Oba Akanbi at a Magistrate Court in Osogbo in which he accused the Oluwo of making money through the internet fraud otherwise known as “Yahoo Yahoo”.

But Oba Akanbi reacted to these allegations in a 13 paragraph affidavits through the Aremo of Iwo land, Chief Adelani Akanbi who described the application filed against the Oluwo of Iwo by Oba Adeoye as “scandalous, vexations and designed to embarrass, blackmail and ridicule the monarch in the view of right thinking members of the society”.
