The Oluwo of Iwo Oke, Oba Kadiri Adeoye, has withdrawn the fraud case he instituted against the Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi.
Oba Adeoye had dragged the Oluwo to court, claiming he was deported from Canada for fraud.
According to The Punch, the Oba has now confirmed the withdrawal of the case.
He revealed that he took the decision following appeals from prominent persons from within and outside the state.
It is believed that Governor Rauf Aregbesola also made a personal plea to the Oba.
The Oba said: “It is true that I have withdrawn the case. I had to do that to honour prominent personalities, who have been begging me to do so. The governor also intervened and some notable people in the country.
“These are the people, who God has given this country to and it will look as if I have an ulterior motive if I insist on going ahead with the case.”
The case is expected to be struck out on January 6, 2017, being the next adjourned date.
