The press release reads:
From HRH Queen chanel, mother of prince oduduwa of Iwo kingdom.
My attention has been drawn to recent allegations in the media purportedly involving his imperial majesty the Ooni of Ife. I categorically state that these claims are false, misleading, damaging to our sacred Yoruba traditional institutions.
FOR THE RECORD
1. I was introduced to Mr Akanbi by a respected Lagos monarch not by the Ooni of Ife.
2. During my time as olori oluwo, I regarded this Lagos monarch as my royal father and still do with respect.
3. At no time did this monarch introduce me to Akanbi for malicious intent.
4. I fondly recall visiting this monarch and his olori in lagos with Mr Akanbi and baby prince oduduwa - cherished memories.
5. Mr Akanbi has been absent from prince oduduwa's life for over five years. He only resurfaced in August this year in Canada. Refused to sign passport papers but dropped $500, the first support oduduwa ever received from him since we left the palace.
Despite this I have shouldered the full responsibility of raising my son while always advocating for peaceful co parenting.
I therefore plead with the public to disregard all falsehoods against the Ooni of Ife our foremost monarch.
I also urge traditional institution to caution Mr Akanbi from further degrading the sacred throne he once occupied.
This shall be my final statement on this matter. Prince oduduwa remains my beloved son and I hold the Yoruba people in deep love and respect.
