Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba (Dr.)
Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, has make a clean breast of the allegation that he
beat Agbowu of Ogbaagbaa, Oba Sikiru .
Oluwo stated he was truly invited
by the authority of the police to make peace on his stance curtailing excess
land selling by monarchs under his domain, a pronouncement that did not go down
well with those affected as they regroup to act against the authority of Oluwo
who gave them the crown.
Attached therein was a letter
written and signed by the then Baale of Ogbaagba (the same Sikirulahi Olaleke
Akinropo) requesting for a beaded crown from Oluwo and as well narrating how
they (Ogbaagba) seek for permission to settle within Iwo domain.
Historically and traditionally,
Oluwo settled Ogbaagba where they are today as against the lies peddling
around. I've the papers of how I settled and crowned about 35 monarchs under
me. Iwoland goes beyond Ogbaagba and it's my duty to protect this land not
because of me or the present generation, but because of the future generation.
This is my sin. They want to sell all the land. Iwo land is almost gone to land
speculators and land grabbers just for peanuts.
Iwo land must be protected. And
this is what I'm doing. I know posterity will vindicate me. Everyone can sell
his or her personal land. A king can as well sell his. It is barbaric seeing
king selling his subjects land for peanut with impunity.
I receive complaints
daily. Imagine a king selling one land for three to four speculators without
the consent of the family who originally owns the land. Now, the same Agbowu
who pleaded for beaded crown, begging and prostrating went to grant interview
that he was never answerable to Iwo. He went far as attempting to turn Oluwo to
a blind man by pointing his staff of office to my eyes.
Monarchs are not estate
managements. And to curtail the too bad attitude which they described as their
primary source of income, I had to wade in. My intention was a corrective
measure and not to take what I had bequeathed to them. He went to the extent of
attempting to stick my eyes with his staff of office.
All affected monarchs in my
kingdom should note no one will feed on his subjects land and go away with it.
Step is in top gear to revoke all lands illegally acquired by kings and sold to
land speculators. Modern system respects protocol and the right of every
individual. The towns in Iwoland are choked. Of what moral and traditional
justification is land selling to the living standard of a town or city whose
kings have sold their future (land)?
