There appears to be no end in sight over the royal rumble between Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi and the Agbowu of Ogbaagba, Oba Dhikirulai Akinropo as the latter on Wednesday petitioned the Assistant Inspector General (AIG) of Police, Zone 11, Mr Bashir Makama over alleged assault by the former. He, also in the petition demanded the immediate prosecution of Oba Akanbi by the Police, describing the physical assault on him as a criminal offence. While contending that nobody is above the law, the monarch tasked the Police to diligently prosecute Oba Akanbi, bearing in mind that the alleged assault was witnessed physically by the AIG in his office, who even rescued Oba Akinropo from the grip of Oluwo. In fact, it was your humble self that disengaged the said Oluwo of Iwo from killing our client on that day. It needs to be clearly stated that under our law, nobody, no matter highly placed, is above the law.
