Osun State Monarch, the Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi, has accused prominent Yoruba monarch, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, of using his Canadian ex-wife, Chanel Chin, to set him up.
Oba Akanbi filed the allegation in a video shared on Facebook on Tuesday.
Speaking on the reason why his feud with the Ooni of Ife cannot end, the Oluwo recounted how the prominent monarch who he claimed to have helped ascend to the throne, allegedly colluded with Chanel to orchetrate his downfall.
He also recounted the alleged assassination plot by his ex-wife, stressing that she poisoned her twice while also setting up cameras in their matrimonial room.
“This message is for Nigerians, most especially the Yorubas. I’m saying this because I want other Nigerians to know.
“When I got on the throne, you see me talking about this Ooni Adeyeye. What you don’t know, I will tell you today. Governor of Osun state, Commissioners, and all.
“I helped Ooni Adeyeye but because he was holding Orisa, and me God has put me above orisas as the king. But let’s look at it. Because of that, as a King maker or somebody that helped a king to become the king that I was, he doesn’t want me to say this story in the future.
“He was looking for my downfall. Then the next thing, he packaged a woman. There was woman that was packaged for me from Canada. I don’t her. It was a setup.
“After they set me up, they were talking to her. She was in my house and they were talking to her, setting up in videos and many things.
“In the room, the supposed wife, an ex-wife will be asking me questions. They were communication with her. She was here for over three years.
“She had a child which I don’t even know if he is my child. I had to confirm that through DNA. They wanted her to kill me.
“She poisoned me two times. They set up assassination attempts. They did everything so that maybe their orisas or the gods will kill me but they failed.” He said.
Oba Akanbi further accused Ooni of Ife of meeting with his ex-wife in a hotel and providing accommodation for her.
He affirmed that his fight with Oba Adeyeye will never end while boasting that even the gods, if invoked cannot kill him.
“After I found out about the secret and kicked this woman out, it was this Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi that, ask him, what was the lady doing with him in the hotel? I won’t mention the hotel. When there is clarification, I will mention.
“He was the one who accommodated her and got her an apartment. You are now saying I’m talking. If it was you, a wife that was setup to kill you and failed.
“This fight is not going to end. It is going to continue and nobody can kill me.
“The gods cannot kill me. They are my fathers. But a son must be greater than his father. I’m a king today. Sango can’t kill me. He is not a criminal.
“Ogun cannot kill me. He is not a criminal. They are our fathers, and they are not criminals. They cannot kill their own children. Ogun and Sango doesn’t kill. It is only God that knows when one will die.” He said.
Oba Akanbi also talked down his suspension by the Ooni, stressing that a paramount ruler cannot suspend another paramount ruler.
“They said Ooni suspended me. Can Ooni suspend me a king?
“Paramount ruler will suspend another paramount ruler? Does that mean he is older than me? If they set one, two, three in Osun, they can’t just put all of us in number one.” the Oluwo added.
