The Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi has alleged that the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, attempted to kill him some years back.
Oba Akanbi in a video posted on his official Facebook page, accused Ooni of setting him up with a woman who tried several times to kill him but failed.
The monarch said the woman had a child with him but was sent out with the child after he discovered the plan.
Speaking in the video, Oba Akanbi, who did not mention the woman’s name, said, “I helped Ooni Adeyeye, but because he aligns with the idols and me, God has put me above those idols as a king. Ooni doesn’t want me to tell the story and he was looking for my downfall.
“What he did was that he packaged a woman for me whom I didn’t know before. It was a setup. She was in my house and they were talking to the woman to set me up through videos and others.
“The supposedly ex-wife will be asking me questions then and they were communicating with her. She was there for over three years. She had a child, whom I don’t even know if is mine.
“She poisoned me twice, they set up an assassination attempt, and other things for me to die, but they failed.”
“When I found out the secret and I kicked this woman out, the woman went to meet the Ooni at a hotel. It is the same Ooni who rented an apartment for the woman and her child,” Oluwo added.
Efforts to get the reaction of the Ooni’s palace proved abortive as calls put through to Ooni’s spokesperson, Moses Olafare were not connecting as at the time of filling this report.
