Assault: Agbowu drags Oluwo to court, demands N100m damages
Agbowu of Ogbaagba, Oba Dhikirullahi Akinropo, has dragged Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi before an Osun State High Court, demanding a sum of N100 million damages over an alleged assault against him by the royal father.
In a writ of summons dated 27th of February, 2020, issued by his counsel, Soji Oyetayo, detailing demands of Oba Akinropo, the claimant, also plead for perpetual injunction restraining the defendant, his servants and or agents from committing further act of assault on him.
The monarch is also asking the Court to award the sum of N1 million naira against the defendant as the cost of hiring legal service for the action.
Also in the writ supported by a 39 paragraphs statement of Claims, Oba Akinropo alleged that Oluwo attacked him at the AIG office, in the presence of other monarchs and some member of the state Executive council and inflicted injury on him which was later treated at the State Specialist Hospital, Asubiaro, Osogbo.
Six other monarchs from the three local governments, who claimed to have witnessed the faceoff also deposed to affidavits to testify on behalf of the Agbowu.
Agbowu explained that his crises with Oluwo started when the monarch directed that before anyone can sell land more than ten acres around the three councils of Iwo, OlaOluwa and Ayedire, his approval must be sought, otherwise the transaction would be invalid.
He said other monarchs and their subjects in the affected local government areas disagreed with the directive, insisting that Oluwo lacked the power to issue such directive to them.
