It is doubtful if the Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdurasheed Akanbi, would ordinarily like to court controversy.
But since he ascended the throne in 2015, his name has almost become synonymous with controversy.
Sadly, this seemingly undisciplined attitude seems to be gaining attention in the public domain.
Already some of his actions and comical displays in public are said to be giving some of his subjects grave concern. They have thus nicknamed the 50-year-old monarch ‘King controversy’ .
Not a few have forgotten how he humiliated one of the top and popular Chiefs in the town, Abiola Ogundokun, who was said to have contributed to his emergence as the king of the ancient town. The funky traditional ruler reportedly revoked the chieftaincy titles of Ogundokun,
The monarch had earlier stripped Ogundokun of his traditional and social titles of Basorun Musulumi of Iwoland, a member of Iwo Board of Trustees, Otun Balogun of Iwoland and Obanla of Iwo.
