A
Magistrate Court sitting in Osogbo, the Osun State capital has issued a
bench warrant against the Oluwo of Iwo following some allegations
against him.
Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi
An Osun State Chief Magistrate Court has issued a warrant of arrest
against a first class traditional ruler in the state, the Oluwo of Iwo,
Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi after he failed to show up in court to defend
allegations against him.
The arrest warrant is coming days after Chief Magistrate, Olusola
Aluko, threatened at the last sitting of the court that if Oba Akanbi
failed to appear before him in compliance with the order of the court on
November 25, in a case filed against him by the Oluwo of Iwo-Oke, Oba
Kadiri Adeoye, he would have no option but to issue a bench warrant for
his arrest.
At Tuesday’s sitting, while the applicant, Oba Adeoye, was in
court, the Oluwo of Iwo was conspicuously absent, a situation that drew
the rage of Magistrate Aluko.
He had at the last sitting sent another monarch, Ologburo of Ogburo, Oba Asimiyu Sadiq, to represent him.
Counsel to the Oluwo of Iwo-Oke, Mr Soji Oyetayo, in his submission
urged the court not to entertain any of the applications filed by the
respondent until he complies with the order of the court.
He said: “The first respondent (Oba Akanbi) filed an
application of stay of proceeding yesterday afternoon, so, I am of the
opinion that he is not ready to move any application today.
“Meanwhile, the court made an order on 25 November, 2016 and up
till now the order has not been complied with. The application asking
for a stay of proceeding cannot stay the order already made.
“The order of the court is meant to be obeyed. The
non-appearance of the first respondent in this matter is a flagrant
disobedient of the order of the court”.
Counsel to Oba Akanbi, Mr Olayide Yekeen, explained that his client
submitted the notice of preliminary objection, challenging the
jurisdiction of the court to hear the case on November 15 and that by
careful perusal of the State Magistrate Law, Section 19:1, the court
could not entertain the matter.
According to him, “it is the threshold of all cases that
whenever the issue of jurisdiction is raised, it is to be taken first.
On the issue of jurisdiction and the competence of the case, the
respondent has the right to be heard first before any enquiry can be
made in the matter”.
In his ruling, Magistrate Aluko stated that he agreed with the
respondent’s counsel that the issue of jurisdiction must be treated
first.
“On the order of the court made on November 25, 2016, the order
remained. I hereby issue a bench warrant against the first respondent
while further proceeding on the matter is adjourned to December 27,
2016,” he told the court.
Making Money Through “Yahoo Yahoo”
Oba Adeoye had approached the Magistrate Court accusing the Oluwo
of Iwo of concealing some facts about his past to the state government
when he was installed as a first class monarch about a year ago.
Oluwo-Oke in a 33-paragraph affidavit said Oba Akanbi’s character
did not befit a person of his status and calibre as he was used to
carrying armed thugs, miscreants and hoodlums around to harass,
intimidate, molest and attack persons whom he perceived as his enemies.
He further alleged that Oba Akanbi forged his name to obtain
travelling documents to the United States where he was jailed in New
York City and deported to Nigeria in year 2000.
He added that Oba Akanbi later travelled out with his real name to
Canada in 2001 and became a Canadian citizen but was also arrested in
Toronto and was in jail between 2006 and 2007.
“These facts were concealed for the state government which appointed and installed him as the Oluwo of Iwo,” the suit read.
He also accused him of presently making money through the internet fraud otherwise known as “Yahoo Yahoo” and was using his palace as a cover-up.
But Oba Akanbi reacted to these allegations in a 13 paragraph
affidavits through the Aremo of Iwo land, Mr Adelani Akanbi, describing
the application filed against the Oluwo of Iwo by Oba Adeoye as
“scandalous, vexations and designed to embarrass, blackmail and ridicule
the monarch in the view of right thinking members of the society”.
