The Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, has announced that his palace will be distributing pepper spray to females in Iwoland on Monday, 15th June, 2020

MyNigeria.com recalls that the Oluwo of Iwo had advised the Federal Government to give pepper sprays and stun guns to females.

This was in reaction to the news of the rape and murder of Uwaila Omozuwa, Barakat Bello and Shomuyiwa Azeezat.

The monarch has now embarked on a mission to "protect the dignity of ladies through provision of pepper spray as defence item against rapists".

A statement issued reads in part: "Interested females across the three local of Iwo, Ayedire and Ola Oluwa are enjoined to converge at Oluwo's palace on Monday by 10am.

"There will be a brief enlightenment and training on its usage and protection against sexual assault".

The gesture by the Oluwo of Iwo comes months after his estranged queen, Chanel Chin, accused him of rape.

She told GIO TV: “Tell the people that you raped me the first night you met me.

“One month later, I missed my menses, and I was pregnant,” she added.

Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi is yet to respond to the allegation tendered by his estranged queen.
