The Oluwo of Iwoland raped ex-wife according to her.
Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi, Emperor Telu 1 continues to draw the anger of the enstranged Jamaican wife, Chanel Chin since they both parted ways.
The couple had bitter domestic squabbles until they finally divorced in December 2019. Through it all, the queen remained silent, at least to the public while the Oluwo released a couple of statements alerting the public of their separation. In some instances, the monarch released details that the ex-wife would rather he did not.

Oluwo of Iwo and wife’s Squabbles Go Awry
Nonetheless after the divorce, the Oluwo personally made several announcements about the the development followed by his palace aids.
His statement:
“This is to inform the general public, most especially friends and associates of Iwoland, His Imperial Majesty, Oba (Dr) Abdulrasheed Adele Akanbi, Telu 1, that Ms Chanel Chin is an ex-queen of his Majesty.”
The Oluwo then doubled down on his pressure to have the expatriate queen out of the palace. That drew the ire of the queen who eventually responded.
“Maturity speaks. Since the Oluwo of Iwo has gone to the media to air his dirty laundry, I have remained silent.
“He has gone on a personal mission to Destry my character with fabricated stories…I have remained silent.
“As a mother of a small baby, all of this is unnecessary and very immature. Out of respect for the stool, I have not spoken of what I went through in the last 4 years. Please let maturity rule.”
Unfortunately, the squabbles do not seem to be going away soon as the ex-queen recently granted an interview to a TV station to reveal her very first encounter with the king and how they got married.
According to her, they met at a party in Toronto where another Lagos Oba formally introduced them even if she had come across him before that party.
How the Oluwo of Iwoland raped ex-wife; Chanel’s story:
“It was a popular Lagos monarch that introduced me to him again properly. He said we were both from Toronto and that the Oluwo was single.
“We all had fun and I had a little too much to drink. I went upstairs to one of the rooms to sleep. At about 3:00am, I woke up to find the Oluwo on top of me. I was naked.
“I tried to get him off me but h stayed put saying he is a king an no one says no to a king in his culture. He said I was going to be his wife and I would have a good life.
“I am saying this because the Oluwo has been going about telling people that I am a prostitute from Toronto and that he didn’t know me. He also claimed he slept with me on the first night.
“Tell people the truth, tell them how you raped me while I was resting in one of the rooms after I had too much to drink.
“The day I met him was the day my life changed drastically. I met him on February 2nd 2016. His coronation was on January 16the 2016. One month later, I missed my period. I had my baby in November 2016. Do the math
“He raped me. He took me back to Iwo with him because of what he had done and said he was going to marry me.”
