Osun State Government warns the Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, over alleged inflammatory remarks, saying such comments could spark religious and inter-town conflicts. The government tells the monarch to avoid public statements that could threaten religious tolerance and peaceful coexistence.
The different outlets describe the same core action by Osun: monitoring and cautioning the Oluwo after concerns over what he allegedly said. Premium Times reports the warning and links it directly to fears of religious and communal unrest. Daily Post and The Punch both frame the response as placing the Oluwo under watch, with Osun directing additional oversight structures in Iwo.
While the accounts align on the allegation and the state’s motive—preventing conflict—coverage varies in how Osun’s role is implemented. Daily Post Nigeria adds that the State Council of Obas is instructed to monitor developments in Iwo and that the monarch is told to stop commenting against other religious groups.
