Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi, now called the boxing king by many, has been suspended for six months.

He was suspended on Thursday by the Osun State Traditional Rulers’ Council at a meeting presided over by Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi.

The emergency meeting was held at Osun State Government Secretariat, Abere.

The council also set up a committee headed by Orangun of Ila, Oba Wahab Adedotun, to further investigate issues involving Oluwo and Obas in Iwo land.
