Outspoken Osun State monarch, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi, the Oluwo of Iwo, has indicted Ekiti and Kwara monarchs and other prominent religious leaders of engaging in ritual killings.
Oluwo spoke in a video on social media that was trending on Friday.
In the video, Oba Akanbi condemned the rising tide of bloodshed under the guise of tradition, spiritual renewal and power preservation.
The Iwo monarch called out his Ekiti and Kwara counterparts, as well as royal chiefs, pastors, Alfas, traditional worshipers and politicians, for perpetrating the gruesome acts.
While calling for justice against them, he said, “All the traditional rulers from Ekiti State to Kwara State must stop using human beings for any forms of rituals or sacrifice.
“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.
“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.”
