“Ooni of Ife plotted with my ex-wife to poison, kill me”: Oluwo of Iwo alleges in video, fans react

• The Oluwo of Iwo has accused the Ooni of Ife of having sexual relations with his ex-wife while they were still married
• The monarch expressed intense doubt over the paternity of their child together, in a video that has gone viral
• Oluwo claimed that his ex-wife, whom he met in Canada, was part of a big plan to dethrone him, spilling more details

The Oluwo of Iwo, Abdulrasheed Akanbi, has made new accusations against the Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Ogunwusi, six months after accusing him of treachery and plotting against him. This time, the accusations concern Chanel Chin, his ex-wife.

Reports emerged in December 2019 that Mr Akanbi announced his split from M. Chin, citing "personal irreconcilable differences," through his spokesperson, Alli Ibraheem.

They both welcomed a son named Oduduwa.

Recall that the Oluwo and Ooni have been in a series of superiority battles.

Ms Chin was born in Canada and is the daughter of Jamaican reggae artist Ludlow "Bobo Zaro" Chin. Chin is well-known for his song "Pain," which he co-wrote with Capleton.

The Oluwo later married Firdaus Abdullahi, a Kano princess, on March 19, 2022.

In a video put on his Instagram page on Tuesday, September 30, the monarch said that Mr Ogunwusi conspired with his former wife to kill him.

In his words: “He (Ooni) was looking for my downfall, and the next thing, they packaged a woman for me. I didn’t know her from Canada, but she was packaged for me. It was a setup. She was in my house, and they talked to her and set me up with videos and many things. She’d ask me questions inside the room, and they communicated with me.

“She was there (in my house) for over three years. She had a child, which I don’t even know if it’s my child now. I have to confirm that through DNA because they want her to kill me. She poisoned me twice. They set up an assassination attempt. They did everything so that maybe their gods would kill me, but they failed. After I found out the secret, I kicked this woman out. It was Ooni who accommodated her.”

Betrayal and extramarital affairs

Mr Akanbi also claimed that he helped the Ooni accede to his ancestral throne, but that the monarch was scheming to assassinate him to prevent him from speaking about his involvement in the future.

He further claimed that Mr Ogunwusi had an adulterous affair with his former wife at an unidentified hotel.

“When I get on the throne, you see me talking about this Ooni Adeyeye and what you don’t know, I will tell you today—the governor of Osun State, the commissioners, and all. I helped Ooni Adeyeye, but because he was holding orisa, and God has put me above orisa as a king and a kingmaker that I was, he doesn’t want me to tell the story in the future.

“Ask him (Ooni of Ife) what the lady (my ex-wife) was doing with him in the hotel. I won’t mention the hotel, but when I need clarification, I will mention it. He rented a house for her and the child. People are telling me that I’m talking too much, but if it were you—if a wife was planted in your home to kill you, tried to kill you but failed—would the fight ever end?”, Oluwo of Iwo added.

The king added that he would always be at odds with the Ooni.

“That is why this fight will continue. No one can kill me, no matter their voodoo. Sango cannot kill me; he is my father, but a son must be more powerful than his father. I am a king. Sango cannot kill me. Sango is not a criminal. Ogun is not a criminal. They cannot kill me; they do not kill their children. They do not kill people. Only God determines when someone will die.”
