Chanel Chin, the ex-wife of Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi, has revealed in an Instagram post that she was raped in Lagos by the controversial monarch before they got married.
In a tell-all interview with GIO TV, the Jamaican-Canadian national, said that a month after the monarch’s coronation she went to a party in Ikeja and she met the Olowo at a party.
Chin said after the party she retired early to her room because she had too much to drink but woke up at 3 am to find the Oluwo on top of her in her room, with her clothes discarded.
She said, “ I told him, no no, no. Get off me, but he said he is a King and that once he “extends his leg” to me, I can’t refuse him.
Chin said that after raping her, the monarch promised her marriage.
“Tell the people that you raped me the first night you met me, she said to him. One month later, I missed my menses and I was pregnant.
“The very next day, when we got to Iwo, there was no palace. The palace didn’t even have a roof. There was no palace. We were staying in one Barrister Atanda’s home. He’s also based in the UK, he can attest to this. There was no palace, there was no royalty, there was nothing.

“There was even a family that came, they were so upset because Oluwo dis-virgined one girl from that town and promised that family marriage. So, when that family got to find out one Canadian was with this King, he went to the news.
“He started sleeping around with a lot of women, from Lagos to Iwo to Osogbo, to Ibadan. He was sleeping with a lot of women and promising them Olori.
“When people found out that there was one Jamaican woman living with him, he went to the press and put this fake news about his wife from Canada, that he married me in Canada and that I came to Nigeria to claim my rightful spot, which was a lie. Even before I stepped foot in that palace, I already had a gang of enemies.” She said.
“Oluwo’s coronation was in Jan 2016, I met him in Feb 2016 and my baby was born in Nov 2016. November from February is 9 months.
The monarch might get into trouble with authorities in Canada should the former wife reports to the Canadian police, Per Second News gathered.
According to Global Affairs Canada, a government resource for citizens, victims of rape abroad may report to GAC and not to local authorities, they may make reports with both local authorities and GAC, but the accused can only be arrested if he comes to Canadian territory.
Canadian law criminalizes “sexual assault”, which is defined as sexual contact with another person without that other person’s consent, according to Per Second News findings.
271 Everyone who commits a sexual assault is guilty of
-
(a) an indictable offence and is liable to imprisonment for a term of not more than 10 years or, if the complainant is under the age of 16 years, to imprisonment for a term of not more than 14 years and to a minimum punishment of imprisonment for a term of one year.
