The Chief Imam of Iwo, Sheikh Adio caused an uproar at the recent Eid al Fitri celebration when he confronted the Oluwo of Iwoland Oba AbdulRasheed Akanbi, for attempting to sleep with his wife.
Sheikh Adio who was supposed to lead prayers at the event, got into a heated exchange and eventually confronted the Oluwo of Iwoland after the monarch told worshippers present to ignore the cleric and go to another Mosque for prayers.
While responding to the Osun monarch, Sheikh Adio stated that the Oluwo of Iwoland who wanted to sleep with his wife, was fighting him because he refused.

However the Oluwo of Iwoland reacted to the accusation via instagram and also noted that sometimes his subjects claim he is gay.
He wrote;
FREEDOM OF SPEECH, IM NOT FAMOUS ENOUGH MAKE ME MORE FAMOUS AROUND THE WORLD
Thanks to my friends and so called enemies (I call them uplifters) for making me so famous around the world !!! One day, they will call me Yahoo king… another day, they will call me gay and then just day before I just heard a new one… a gbaruku alfa who is not even an Imam , a 16th position otun ajanasi says” you want to sleep with my wife”
The Mosque called Oluwo mosque in Iwo was built by my forefathers a king in the 17th century and happens to be the first mosque in southwest Nigeria but now…. OKIKI TI MONI YI OITO EDUMARE, BAMI WA MISI EDUMARE but guess what? This errant man has been deposed and replaced by one of his enemies…. in Iwo kings mosque, only me the Oluwo of Iwoland can turban a chief Imam of the land and our own history in Iwo is different from other towns in Yorubaland, if there is no Oluwo and the Chief Imam pass away …. there won’t be any Chief Imam until another king is crowned and it has happened before when there was a vacuum for the stool for over 10 years(1982-1992) there was no king on seat and nobody can make a chief Imam for the Kings mosque
