Ex-Commander-In-Chief, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo….Surprised at Oluwo’s Conduct with Chief Abiola Ogundokun |
had announced on Sunday April 30, 2017 that he has stripped the eminent Politician
and elder statesman, High Chief Abiola Ogundokun off his
titles of Bashorun Musulumi of Iwo Land which is an Islamic title and Otun Balogun of Iwo land (Which he
substituted with the title of OBANLA of Iwo land on January 8, 2017).
Ogundokun was rude to him at a public event which the Chief has since
denied. The High Chief who is one of the Oba’s sponsors and benefactors claimed
that Oluwo
became hostile to him when he advised the youtful Oba against some
misguided royal conducts of taking monies from several indigenes who want to
take chieftaincy titles from him, only to give same title to his favorite after
taking money from many others. A situation which led to someone dying in the
past with the family bringing the corpse
to taunt the Oba in the palace.
