Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi

A justice's court sitting in Osogbo, Osun State has requested the Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr. Fimihan Adeoye, to capture the Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi, and convey him to court on January 6, 2017.

The justice, Olusola Aluko, gave the new request on Friday when the case including the ruler came up for listening to once more.

He said he was amazed that the police official had not captured Oluwo since he initially issued the seat warrant of capture against the top notch ruler. Aluko communicated terrify that the police official had not affected the seat warrant of capture he had issued against the ruler, which he said he had marked and given over to an officer of the state police charge.

He said, "I am perplexed that the magistrate of police has not done his obligation. I am likewise amazed by his claim that he was uninformed of the seat warrant. That must be a joke of the century. I, along these lines, arrange him to quickly capture the respondent.

"I am not clowning with my request. He (Akanbi) ought to be captured and conveyed to this court on Friday, January 6, 2017. The holiness of the legal must be ensured."

Aluko expressed that the case established by the Oluwo Oke of Iwo Oke, Oba Kadiri Adeoye, against Akanbi under the watchful eye of his court was not a chieftaincy case but rather a criminal one.

He said, "I will get a kick out of the chance to state that the matter before me was recorded in view of areas 35, 37 and 38 of the criminal methods of Osun State.

"In a criminal case, for example, this, a litigant must show up in court. This court is not attempting a chieftaincy matter. The law once a request is made, to forestall disorder, such a request must be complied.

"It is to be noticed that a request was first made by my sibling, Magistrate Omisade of Iwo purview before the case was exchanged here by fiat and I had asked him (Akanbi) three circumstances to show up under the watchful eye of this court."

It will be reviewed that the judge had on December 2 debilitated to issue a seat warrant against the Oluwo in the event that he neglected to show up before him on December 20, yet the ruler neglected to show up under the steady gaze of the court.

The judge then issued a seat warrant against the ruler on December 20 however the ruler professedly said he would not show up before the officer.

Aluko had likewise issued a crisp seat warrant against the ruler on Wednesday for hatred of court yet the ruler still did not show up on Friday.
