Controversial monarch, Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi, has been accused of rape by his former wife, Chanel Chin.
In a five-hour live interview with GIO Tv, the former queen alleged that after the monarch raped her, he decided to compensate her with marriage.
She alleged: “I met Oluwo when I visited Nigeria as a tourist with my friends in 2015.
“Due to my love for African cultural experiences, I decided to attend a coronation event and after the coronation, I returned to Lagos where I met the Oluwo at an event held by a Lagos monarch.
“A month after the monarch’s coronation, I went to a party in Ikeja and I met the Olowo again.
“After the party, I retired early to my room because I had drunk too much but woke up at 3 am to find the Oluwo on top of me in her room, with my clothes off.
“I told him, no no, no. Get off me, but he said he is a King and that once he “extends his leg” to me, I can’t refuse him.”
The forme queen said that the monarch lied about how he married her, adding that her baby was the result of the rape.
“He should the people that he raped me the first night he met me. One month later, I missed my menses and I was pregnant.
“Oluwo’s coronation was in Jan 2016, I met him in Feb 2016 and my baby was born in Nov 2016. November from February is 9 months.
”When I met Oluwo, February 2nd he raped me and because he raped me, the next day, he said to me, ‘we’re going to the palace. we’re going to Iwo and I’ll make you queen. So I went with him.
“The very next day, when we got to Iwo, there was no palace. The palace didn’t even have a roof. There was no palace. We were staying in one Barrister Atanda’s home. He’s also based in the UK, he can attest to this. There was no palace, there was no royalty, there was nothing.
“There was even a family that came, they were so upset because Oluwo disvirgined one girl from that town and promised that family marriage. So, when that family got to find out one Canadian was with this King, he went to the news.
“He started sleeping around with a lot of women, from Lagos to Iwo to Osogbo, to Ibadan. He was sleeping with a lot of women and promising them Olori.
“When people found out that there was one Jamaican woman living with him, he went to the press and put this fake news about his wife from Canada, that he married me in Canada and that I came to Nigeria to claim my rightful spot, which was a lie. Even before I stepped foot in that palace, I already had a gang of enemies.”
