The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, has pleaded for residents of Iwo to respect the sanctity of human lives and shun vandalism of private and public properties.
Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi made the charge on Saturday while lauding residents of Iwo for guarding the palace and the council secretariat against the attack of hoodlums
The monarch condemned the attack on the Iwo Local Government secretariat in particular and urged leaders to be more responsible.
The Oluwo said the people should respect human dignity and desist from vandalising public and private properties.
He said, “One who serves will be served. I run palliative on daily basis since my ascension as Oluwo.
“Just this morning, unconfirmed information reached the residents of Iwo that some hoodlums would attack the palace in search of COVID-19 palliatives.
“The residents, without the palace knowledge, mounted roadblocks at every path connecting the palace. They waited to see that person born of human who would unleash terror on their heritage. Our palace is sacred.
“I appeal to us in the name of God, the crown and all our positive aspirations, to embrace peace. We are one big family. Let’s be peace-loving.”
