Tamarauemi Ebimini

The Egba Traditional Council headed by the Alake of Egbaland has suspended the Olu of Owode in Obafemi/Owode Local Government of Ogun State, Oba Kolawole Sowemimo, for allegedly abusing the naira notes.

Oba Sowemimo in a viral video had allegedly abused the naira while spraying popular Fuji musician, Wasiu Ayinde, popularly known as KWAM 1 at a party.

In the video, the monarch had knitted N1,000 notes together forming a long rope which he wrapped round the neck of KWAM 1.

Last Month, the National Orientation Agency, (NOA), wrote a letter to the embattled monarch, saying his actions could earn him imprisonment.

And on Friday, the Egba traditional council announced the suspension of the monarch for publicly degrading Nigerian currency, an offence which contravene the law of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

The council suspended the monarch for two months without salary.

The meeting in a joint resolution adopted the suspension of the monarch following the recommendation of its Ethical Committee which declared that during the period of his (Sowemimo) suspension he should not parade himself as a traditional ruler.
