The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, has announced a ban on the use of alcohol within his palace and surrounding areas. The monarch made this declaration on Saturday, June 22, while marking his 58th birthday in the palace. According to the king, the decision is part of his efforts to maintain a holy and clean environment in the royal compound. “Any act considered unclean should not take place within the palace,” he said. He noted that the palace, which also houses a mosque, must remain a place where prayers can be offered with clean hearts and surroundings. Oba Akanbi urged everyone connected to the palace to live in a way that reflects moral and spiritual discipline. “I want to see members of the palace grow into people I would be proud of,” he said. He added that anyone who wishes to drink alcohol should do so outside the palace fence. The king’s stance has been welcomed by many of his followers on social media, with several praising his efforts to make the palace a more respectful and godly place. The decision is seen as a positive step towards promoting moral values and spiritual discipline within the palace and its environs.
