The ever-controversial Oluwo of Iwo land, Oba AbdulRasheed Adewale Akanbi and his estranged Canadian-born wife, Chanel have taken their grievances to social media.

Recall that Chanel, who was the Oluwo of Iwo’s wife recently walked out of the marriage with her child and headed to Canada.

Now things have taken a rather strange turn, when the estranged wife, Chanel, accused the royal father on her Instagram handle of trying to tarnish her image.

She wrote:

Maturity speaks. Since the Oluwo of Iwo has gone to the media to air his dirty laundry, I have remained silent. He has gone on a personal mission to destroy my character with fabricated stories….i have remain silent. As a mother of a small baby, all of this is unnecessary and very immature. Out of respect for the stool i have not spoken of what i went through in the last 4 years. Please let MATURITY rule. If a king does not RESPECT himself or his stool….who else will? People of God, let us be honest with ourselves, this is not the Ist or the last time that we have watched this individual fabricate and publicly destroy someone….kings are supposed to uplift and not oppress. love and light.

And the King responded to her post thus:

The Horse is waiting but you can’t force the passenger!!! To who cares to listen….ticket has been provided since 18th of December, 2019, 5 star hotel fully paid till date of travel!! And ask yourself a question….can a Canadian be stranded in Nigeria even if a ticket is not provided?? The Candaian embassy and Government is one of the most responsible in the world. If someone chooses to stay back for whatever reason, its none of our business. The needful has been done by providing the necessary travelling arrangements.
