The
controversial legal tussle against the Oluwo of Iwo linked with
internet fraud seems to have reached an end following an external
intervention.
Oba Abdul-Rasheed Akanbi
A judge, Olusola Aluko who ordered the arrest of a prominent
traditional ruler in Osun State, the Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdul-Rasheed
Akanbi has handed off the case as police did not arrest the monarch
since last year that he issued the bench warrant of arrest against Oba
Akanbi.
At the court sitting in Osogbo, capital of Osun State, (Friday)
Magistrate Aluko announced his decision to hand off the case because of
the dimension it has taken.
Counsel to the plaintiff, Mr Soji Oyetayo told the court that he
has filed a notice seeking the leave of the court to withdraw the suit
because his client has decided to discontinue the case owing to
intervention of some eminent Nigerians in Osun State and some Yoruba
leaders.
The Magistrate explained that he was not willing to listen to the
counsels to the parties in the matter since he has already stepped down
the substantive matter.
But counsel to the respondent, Chief Laide Yekini pleaded the
Magistrate to listen to him and consider the notice of discontinuance of
the matter brought before the court by his colleague.
The Magistrate insisted that he would not entertain the withdrawal
of the case and the counsel to the respondent said he wanted the court
to record it appropriately that a notice of withdrawal of the case was
brought to the court and the judge had refuse to entertain it.
As a result of this, the Magistrate agreed to attend to the
application seeking the withdrawal of the suit and the counsel to the
plaintiff moved the application.
Thereafter, the counsel to the plaintiff told the court that a
tradition ruler, the Olowukuta, Oba Makama Adekunle seek comment on the
matter.
Counsel to the respondent did not object the but the Magistrate
said he would not put the comments of the monarch on record since he was
not a party in the matter.
In his comment, the Olowukuta apologised to the Magistrate over the
situation and assured him that the traditional institution in the state
holds the judiciary in high esteem, adding that the matter must be
handled with care to protect the integrity of both the judiciary and the
traditional institution.
In his ruling, Magistrate Aluko said for the sake of consistency,
he would not make any pronouncement on the withdrawal of the suit and
that he would hand off and refer the case back to the Chief Magistrate
for further action.
He adjourned the matter till February 15. In a chat with a
correspondent after the case, the plaintiff, Oba Akadiri Lamidi Olatunde
Adeoye said he withdrew the case because of the intervention of the
former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and the state governor, Mr
Rauf Aregbesola who persuaded him to embrace amicable resolution.
It would be recalled that the Oluwo-Oke dragged his brother king,
the Oluwo of Iwoland to court over superiority issue between the duo
which eventually pitched their subjects against themselves and almost
turned violent in the Iwoland and its suburbs.
