The Agbowu of Ogbaagba, Oba Dhikirullahi Akinropo, has dragged Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, to the Osun State High Court sitting in Osogbo for alleged assault.

According to the writ of summons by Agbowu’s counsel, Soji Oyetayo, obtained by The Nation yesterday in Osogbo, Oba Akinropo demanded N100million as damages from Oluwo.

The plaintiff-monarch is also asking the court to award N1million against the defendant as the cost of securing legal service for the action.

The writ of summoning dated February 27, 2020 was supported with 39 paragraphs of claims. Oba Akinropo alleged that Oluwo pounced on him at the office of the Assistant General of Police in Osogbo by punching him, which resulted in Oluwo inflicting injury on his cheeks.

He alleged that the wound resulted in him being admitted at the Osun State Specialist Hospital, Asubiaro, Osogbo.

The monarch asked the court to prevent Oba Akanbi from intimidating, harassing or threatening to attack him, while he should be compelled to desist from any action that could cause a breach of peace anywhere in Iwo, Ayedire and Olaoluwa local government areas of the state.

The Oluwo of Iwo was suspended by the Osun State Traditional Rulers’ Council during an emergency meeting held in Osogbo. He agreed to abide by his suspension.
