No kidnapper or bandit can ambush me – Oluwo boasts
Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi, the Oluwo of Iwo, has declared that no kidnapper or bandit can ambush and murder him.
Speaking to reporters in his palace on Wednesday, February 7, the monarch of Osun stated that anybody who choose to do such will be evaluating the effectiveness of the power he represents.
Oba Akanbi also denounced the assassinations of three monarchs in the states of Kwara and Ekiti. He bemoaned the way certain monarchs had denigrated traditional stools.
He said;
“No bandit or kidnapper can attack or ambush me, not on this earth. They can try it, then they want to test the efficacy of the authority that I am representing. Kingship institution is owned by God and I am his representative, you can’t kill me nor kidnap me but once kings fail to acknowledge God, there will be problems.
“There is no kidnapper nor bandit who is born that can attack me in such a manner, no war can conquer me. What is happening in Yoruba land to kings is not good at all, they are removing kings at will and death is not the only thing happening to traditional rulers. Kings have now become servants to the government. Abomination!”
