THE OLUWO OF IWO PALACE DRAMA: What is REALLY happening behind closed doors?


Remember that heavy rumor making the rounds that three ruling houses dragged the Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, to court to remove him for allegedly exhuming the remains of past kings?
Oya, gather round for the full update, because the table just turned!
THE COUNTER-ATTACK: "It's all a lie!"
The main royal princes, compound heads, and Mogajis of Iwo land have officially broken their silence. They have come out to heavily defend the king and completely deny the graveyard allegations.
THE REAL STORY? (Renovation vs. Desecration)
According to the royal family heads, nobody dug up any ancient bones! Here is what they claim actually happened:
The Mess: When Oba Akanbi took the throne, the ancestral royal graveyards were abandoned, dirty, and being used as dumpsites.
The Fix: Instead of exhuming anything, the palace actually renovated, fenced, and tiled the graves to give the past kings some respect.
POLITICAL WARFARE?
The elders are calling out the people who went to court, labeling them "disgruntled elements" sponsored by political rivals who are still angry they lost the throne years ago.
What is your take on this, Busybody Nation?
Do you think this is a real case of royal desecration, or is it just bad politics trying to unseat the king?
