Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi, the Oluwo of Iwo,  Osun State, has stirred controversy by accusing Ekiti and Kwara monarchs of engaging in ritual killings.

The Oluwo spoke in a video now trending  online, calling out complicit royal chiefs, pastors, traditional worshipers and politicians.

In the video, furious Oba Akanbi condemned the increasing spate of bloodshed in the guise of tradition, spiritual renewal and power preservation.

The outspoken monarch called out his Ekiti and Kwara counterparts, as well as royal chiefs, pastors, traditional worshipers and politicians, for perpetrating the heinous and repugnant acts.

“All the traditional rulers from Ekiti State to Kwara State must stop using human beings for any forms of rituals or sacrifice,” he thundered.

“Stop killing our children. Stop using human heads. Those you are killing are my children because I’m a father to Yoruba land. We know some of the kings that are sacrificing humans monthly to elongate their lives and reigns.”

Oba Akanbi also unleashed curses on the perpetrators, invoking the wrath of the ancestors and the divine forces of Yoruba cosmology. He called for unrelenting justice against anyone that is involved in ritual killings.

“If you think we don’t know, the all-knowing God knows, and he is telling us. I’m warning kings, royal chiefs, native doctors, pastors, Alfas, including Ifa priests, politicians and others to stop killing our children.

“This will be your last. After this warning, you will not be fortunate if you dare use anyone again.”

However, the Oluwo also prayed for the redemption of anyone who would repent from the evil practices, pleading for divine mercy to purge and restore their humanness.
