WHEN OLUWO OF IWO TURNED CHAMPION BOXER & PUMMELED FELLOW ROYAL FATHER WITH VEHEMENCE IN PUBLIC

In what can be described as very 'unroyally' and a totally undignified manner not expected of a king, especially a royal father of the height of the stool he sits on and represents, the controversial and self styled King of the empire of Iwo, 'Oba AbdulRosheedAdewale Akanbi Telu 1', Emperor of Iwoland and undoubtedly the most colorful and most flamboyant king in Nigeria currently, threw decorum to the dogs and acted so uncouth, as he decided to handle his situation like a [man], via fisticuffs, as he manhandled or better still pummeled & assaulted a fellow royal father, who he has addressed as a mere Baale, 'community head' in his domain, who he alleged refered to him as a [mad man].

The king who it seems, love attention a whole lot, whether it be good or bad, palatable or unpalatable, did this new low publicly and thank God, for the intervention of some people that were at the public event which was supposed to have discussed on peace in Iwoland, most especially a high ranking Police Officer, maybe the King might have actually taken the law fully into his own hands and what we are saying now might have been far worse than it is already.

So AIG of Police, Zone 11, Bashir Makama had called for a peace meeting to discuss same amongst the royal fathers from Iwo axis. And then the Oluwo who is the consenting authority in Iwo land is alleged to have gotten up unprovoked and eagled on 'Oba Dhirulahi Akinropo, the Agbowu of Ogbaagba town', who he assaulted with vehemence. But for the timely intervention of the AIG himself, matters could have been far worse.

The Oluwo was reported to have angrily said afterwards that--“Me, Oluwo, Agbowu is calling me a mad man. Ordinary Baales want to be challenging me. I will show you my worth and there will be war in the entire Iwoland.

“I am the only Oba in Iwoland, others are Baales that I gave land, they now want to be challenging me. Can any Baale in Ifeland do that to Ooni”,

The so called peace meeting after the attack, simply ended in fiasco  as the Oluwo angrily took his leave.

When he was later called to address the unsavory situation or better still allegation, he was said to have retorted-"there is no issue at all, I wonder why they are so sensational about the issue, we would take care of it, why are they inviting you guys over such an issue, I don’t think it is necessary.”

It can be readily recalled that from the moment that Oba AbdulRosheed Adewale Akanbi Telu 1 came on the throne of his forebears in Iwoland in November 2015 as the 16th monarch of the town of close to 200,000 thousand people, it has been one loud turbulence after the other.

In fact his unrelenting fight with one of his top chiefs in his own Oba-in-council, who can be tagged his most vociferous enemy, Chief Abiola Ogundokun easily comes to mind. Both the king and Chief Ogundokun for the past few years now have refused to sheath their swords ⚔. And it has been since, with allegations and counter allegations flying left, right and center in the war.

In fact, Chief Ogundokun at one time even alleged that Oba AbdulRosheed wanted to beat him up in 2017, in front of the then Governor of Osun State, his excellency, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, this we think might just be an evidence towards proving that his royal majesty might actually have violent tendencies. That unrelenting fight between the 2, then took another turn again late last year, when after the king had sent his former wife and the mother of his child, former Queen Chanel Chin parking unceremoniously from their matrimonial home, he later on alleged after much hoopla that his then wife in connivance with Chief Ogundokun had planned or tried to poison him!

In 2017, just about 2 years after he had ascended the throne as Oluwo of Iwo, him being the  paramount king of Iwoland and the only known 1st class king and consenting authority from that domain with about 30 other smaller kings under him, had had a major quite public fight with the Oluwo Oke of Iwo Oke, one of those 30 or more kings under him. Emperor Telu 1 had accused the Oluwo Oke then of being rude, with the lesser known Oba even accusing the Oluwo of violence and thuggery.

As we near the half a decade coronation anniversary of the Oba, we only hope that all of these unpalatable noise would end.
