The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi, has accused the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, of conspiring with his former wife, Chanel Chin, to poison and kill him.
In a video posted on his instagram page on Tuesday, Oluwo claimed that his ex-wife, was planted in his palace as part of a plot orchestrated by the Ooni.
“He was looking for my downfall, and the next thing, they packaged a woman for me. I don’t know her from Canada, but it was a setup,” he said.
The monarch alleged that his former wife, who lived with him for over three years, poisoned him twice and attempted to set him up.
“She had a child, which I don’t even know if it’s mine now. I have to confirm that through DNA because they wanted her to kill me. They set up an assassination attempt. They did everything so that maybe their gods would kill me, but they failed,” he added.
Oluwo further claimed that the Ooni accommodated the woman after he sent her away, alleging that she was seen with the monarch in a hotel.
“Ask him what the lady was doing with him in the hotel. If a wife was planted in your home to kill you and tried to kill you but failed, would the fight ever end?” he asked.
Reacting, the Ooni’s spokesperson, Moses Olafare, dismissed the accusations as childish and questioned why the Oluwo chose to publicize them on social media instead of reporting to security agencies.
“If somebody alleges a threat to his life or an attempt to kill him, should he report it to the police or the media? That should give you an idea of what lies behind the so-called allegations,” Olafare said.
