Clerics Seeking human parts for wealth are priests, not Islamic leaders – Oluwo of Iwo
The Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, has declared that any cleric who seeks human parts to make money is a priest.
Akanbi made this declaration during a Ramadan lecture organized by the Federation of Ahlus-Sunnah Organisations in Nigeria, FASON, and Jamiyyat Ahlil Kitab Was-Sunnah, JAKWAS, held at Khayrul Adab School of Arabic and Islamic Studies, Apete, Ibadan, on Tuesday.
The event was attended by FASON Amir, Fodilatu Sheikh Tajudeen Abdul-Kareem, the Alawotan of Awotan, Oba Dauda Adebayo Omotoso, the Divisional Police Officer of Apete Divisional Headquarters, CSP Muhammad Ayodeji, and scores of Islamic clerics.
The traditional ruler, while addressing the gathering, said that clerics who seek human parts to make money are priests.
He stated that one of the roles of Islamic clerics is to preach the oneness of God and to encourage people to shun idol worship.
Akanbi, who mentioned that he was a cleric before becoming a king, said that it took him two years and nine months to ascend the throne.
He said, “As Islamic clerics, you have to deliver the message of God to the people. Traditional rulers have to be firm and just in delivering judgments. You need to preach the oneness of God. Tell them not to worship idols.
“I thank God, I was once an Islamic cleric. If someone is an Islamic cleric and he becomes king, what does it entail? It means promotion. I have now become a king, a representative of God on earth.
“Any cleric who seeks human parts to make money is a priest. They are priests. They are Babalawos. You don’t have to look for human parts to be rich. If you have knowledge, you will be a wealthy person.
“As a representative of God, there are still some traditional rulers who worship idols. The position of a king is the highest; it is not a demotion. Idol worship is a curse. There is no forgiveness for idol worship.
“Kings are supposed to worship God; they are not supposed to worship idols. Do not be deceived; we are not to worship idols. I am a custodian of tradition, but when it comes to religion, I worship only one God.
“Many people do not want to work before they become rich. If you believe in God, God is very close to us. You cannot deceive God.
“I spent two years and nine months before I became Oluwo. At that time, I had spent a lot of money. I was almost down. I did not see the governor until the day of the announcement, and the governor announced me.
“Do not equate the position of God with anything else. Do not leave here and continue to worship idols. Believe in one God; do not worship idols again.”

I Threw My Expensive Gold Jewelry into the Lagoon the Moment I Became a Born-Again Christian— Pastor Adeboye’s Wife, Foluke
Wife of Foluke Adeboye has revealed the drastic step she took after becoming born again, throwing away her gold jewellery into a lagoon.
Speaking candidly, the pastor’s wife shared that like many women, she once loved fashion and had even prepared expensive gold items for her young child.
However, everything changed after she joined the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), where wearing earrings was frowned upon at the time.
“The moment we were born again, it was a taboo for you to have earrings. So everything, I dropped it in the lagoon,” she said.
She recalled how a family friend questioned her decision, suggesting she could have given the jewellery to her mother to sell instead.
But She stood firm, “Whatever is not good for me is not good for my mother.”
Reflecting on her journey, she made it clear she has no regrets about her sacrifice.
“I don’t miss anything, not much, because I have already sold my life,” she added.

ADC calls on women to lead, shape Nigeria’s future
As Nigeria observes International Women’s Day 2026, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has urged women to take active roles in politics and leadership to help build a more inclusive nation.
In a statement on Sunday, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, said Nigerian women carry a disproportionate share of social and economic responsibilities but remain underrepresented in decision-making positions.
“From mothers and teachers to doctors, nurses, and entrepreneurs, women sustain our nation every day. Yet their voices are often absent when decisions about our future are made,” the statement read.
The ADC highlighted that its National Working Committee is deliberately structured to include women, and emphasized that the party is the only one in Nigeria whose constitution reserves 40 per cent of all positions at every level for women.
“For the ADC, women are partners in nation-building, and empowering them strengthens Nigeria’s democracy. When Nigerian women rise, the nation rises with them,” Abdullahi added.
The party urged more women across the country to join its platform and contribute to shaping Nigeria’s political and democratic future.
“To the ADC, women are indispensable to the future of Nigerian democracy. A nation of over two hundred million people cannot reach its full potential when half of its population remains underrepresented in political leadership. Nigeria’s democracy will only become stronger when its institutions reflect the strength, talent, and diversity of its people,” the statement emphasized.
