Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi has reacted to his suspension by the Osun State Traditional Council.

In the post, Oluwo attached to his Instagram page on Friday, the monarch said he was suspended because of his swagger and still remained Oluwo of Iwoland despite his suspension by the Osun State Council of Traditional Rulers.

Taking to Instagram, he attached a video, showing him partying and dancing to a song that states that he was not pained by “abuses”.

The post read, “He was never suspended as Oluwo of Iwoland. The Osun State Traditional Council has only recommended his suspension from the council meetings and activities for six months on the guise that his conduct (being too flashy, stylish, human rights defender and swagging); and that (the suspension) is even subject to Governor’s approval. This clarification is important for the public notice!”

Oluwo Akanbi was on Friday suspended for six months by the Osun State Council of Traditional Rulers, according to mynigeria.com.

The royal fathers arrived at the decision to suspend Oba Akanbi at their emergency meeting held at Osun State Government Secretariat, Abere, presided over by Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi.
