Monarch petitions IGP over alleged threat to life by Osun Speaker

The Alasi of Asi in Odo-Otin Local Government Area of Osun State, Oba Isaac Oyewale, has petitioned the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, over an alleged threat to his life by the Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Hon. Adewale Egbedun.

A leaked telephone conversation lasting about three minutes, allegedly between Speaker Egbedun and a family member of the monarch, has gone viral on social media.

In the audio, the Speaker, speaking in Yoruba, was heard hurling insults at the traditional ruler and threatening physical assault should the monarch attempt to enter his domain.

In the recording, the Speaker reportedly said, “This is Speaker Egbedun on the line. I want you to tell him, it seems the king is cursed. I was attacked, and he was talking rubbish. I’ve been avoiding him. If he comes to Asi, I’ll make sure he is beaten, his crown removed, and he is sent to Ilesa. If he is near you, let him hear this. What is my offence? He keeps disrespecting me and I’ve kept quiet. If he values his life, he should not come to Asi today.”

Reacting to the threat, Oba Isaac Oyewale said the incident stemmed from a minor accident involving a car belonging to one of his subjects and a vehicle in the Speaker’s convoy.

According to the monarch, “One of my subjects’ cars hit a vehicle belonging to the Speaker. Despite our pleas, the driver was arrested and taken to Ilesa, and later transferred to Osogbo. I got involved to intervene because both the Speaker and the individual are my subjects. But Egbedun has been misusing his power. He claimed I orchestrated an attack on him, which is false.”

The monarch further stated, “I have petitioned the Inspector General of Police, and I’m aware that action has been initiated. Nonetheless, my life is under threat. He even threatened to bathe me in my own blood. The abuse of power by Speaker Egbedun must be urgently addressed.”

When contacted for his reaction, Speaker Adewale Egbedun briefly said, “He sent thugs to attack me. You can talk to my Chief Press Secretary; he will give you the full details of what happened.”

it's not that Yoruba doesn't respect their king, it's the clueless powers of this political stakeholders that reduce the kings to their mate niiii. They quickly forgot that power is transient.

These Yorubas have grown the culture of reckless talking and insult as a way of life....everyone now behaves like a tout,such a shameless act.They do it with pride, is disgusting to see political leaders whom should be a shinning example to the younger ones,always almost behave like rascals.
They have even taken these their culture of unrestrained insults to the federal level,when some state actors talk,you will feel like hiding your face in shame.

Conference of Speakers Suspends Osun Speaker, Hon Prince Adewale Egbedun

- July 30, 2025

The Conference of Speakers of State Legislatures of Nigeria (CSSLN) has officially suspended the Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adewale Egbedun, due to what has been characterized as insubordination and abuse of office.

During a press conference held in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State, the Chairman of the Association, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin, condemned Egbedun's conduct towards a respected royal figure, labeling it as inappropriate and uncultured. He remarked, "Our Association consists of well-cultured citizens of Nigeria, and we cannot allow one individual's actions to tarnish the image of our organization."

The chairman concluded the press conference by announcing the suspension of Rt. Hon. Adewale Egbedun from the association, effective until the resolution of a petition filed with the Deputy Inspector General of Police Zone XXI by the concerned royal father.

Power show according to Baba Fela.

Forty, Foolish, and Dangerous!

By: Folorunso, Fatai Adisa

There was a time when the phrase “Not Too Young To Run” surged through the Nigerian consciousness like a prophetic hymn. It was sung with conviction, recited with the fervour of daily adhkār, laced with hope and youthful defiance. But in hindsight, perhaps a more honest mantra would have been “Not Too Young To Ruin.”

The proof is no longer abstract. A former Youth Governor now dances with the EFCC, accused of plundering billions meant for the people. And just yesterday, the Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, barely past his 40th birthday, was accused in a circulating voice recording of threatening a traditional ruler. His own king. His own town. A 70-year-old man. In his words, he barked at the king: “Ogun maa fi eje Kabiyesi wẹ.” He assured: “Won a gba ade l’ori Kabiyesi.” He cursed: “Eranko lasan-lasan ni Kabiyesi.” He declared: “Ko ni da fun Kabiyesi t’iran-t’iran.” And many more missile-like utterances too caustic to repeat here.

I listened. And what poured from that tape was not just disgrace; it was a desecration. A violent evisceration of the codes that govern respect, culture, and public decorum. His language seethed with arrogance, soaked in the bile of impunity. The monarch, by reports, fled to Lagos for safety. Imagine that, a king exiled by a boy drunk on borrowed power.

Now pause. Think. If the third most powerful man in a state can, without hesitation, vow to unleash thugs on a traditional ruler, to slap him, to throw him into detention without cause, what then is the fate of the ordinary Osun citizen? When lawmakers morph into gang leaders, what scaffold remains to hold justice upright? When those entrusted with the gavel trade it for a whip, democracy loses its voice, and tyranny dons youthful skin.

A youth untamed is chaos in motion. Like a trigger-happy policeman with an AK-47, he is dangerous, directionless, and devastating. Compare that to George Finch, a 19-year-old who now leads Warwickshire County Council in the UK, managing a £2 billion budget. You would expect recklessness. Instead, you meet composure, seriousness, and public spirit. Traits sorely missing in our own domestically-grown, forty-year-old ‘youths’.

The English say, “A fool at 40 is a fool forever.” Let us hope, for the dignity of Osun and the soul of governance, that the Speaker does not become a living monument to that proverb.

power intoxicates Power destroys.

Dear Egbedun

You're so power Drunk that you think you can talk to anyone anyhow because you're a speaker. If you believe you're more powerful that you can do anything, what should Tinubu who is the No1 as far as Nigeria is concerned today.

The Same stupid and irritating statement you lashed out at Aragbiji the other day on issue that has nothing to do with you or your office atall..

Until you apologise publicly to Alasi Of and baba release a statement that he forgive, I can promise you that I won't leave your Neck alone. Meanwhile, I have many of your atrocities with me. We will let you know that you're just a common citizen, the only reason why we respect you if the office you occupy.

Hmmmmm

Indeed there are two sides to a story. The two of them actually have something ongoing between them.


The Speaker, being the younger one should have exercised serious restraints, especially as the Omoluwabi ethics dictate.

He has obviously been wronged , judging by the conversation but he should have reported to a higher authority instead of being caught on tape threatening anyone. He goofed, but the other party isn't entirely blameless

AFTER THE BACKLASH, NOW COMES A DEFENSIVE LETTER FROM THE SPEAKER . BUT WHO IS REALLY UNDER ATTACK HERE?

The Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly has now released a statement claiming he’s under threat. While no one wishes harm on anyone, it’s important not to confuse public scrutiny with personal attacks.

Yes, Osun people reacted strongly , but was it without reason? Was it not the Speaker’s own actions and utterances that stirred the hornet’s nest in the first place?

Let’s be clear: no one is above criticism, especially public officials. Osun people are simply asking questions:

Why was a revered traditional institution drawn into unnecessary controversy?

Did he know he has trended for wrong reasons on this?

Now there’s a claim of threats and intimidation ,but who will address the public embarrassment, the disrespect, and the questions raised by the people?

Osun people are watching. Osun people are asking. Osun people are not fools.

In 2026, will the people forget?

Royal Desecration: Osun Speaker, Wale Egbedun Should Step Aside Now – NNPP State Chairman

Osun state chairman of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, Dr Tosin Odeyemi, has asked that Hon. Adewale Egbedun step aside as the Speaker of the state House of Assembly for his recent unruly and uncouth behaviours towards Alashi of Ashi, Oba Oyewale Olasunkanmi Isaac.

In a viral audio, Egbedun was heard calling the monarch unprintable names, threatening to remove him and threatening to make Ogun, the god of iron, swim in his blood if he dare step into Ashi any time soon.

This has degenerated to brews on social media as the monarch has petitioned the Assistant Inspector General of Police, Zone 1X on threat to his life by Egbedun.

In his response, Egbedun admitted to have resulted into that phone call due to what he described as ‘threat of further violence’ by the Alashi.

But in swift reaction, Odeyemi said on no justifiable reasons should a number 3 citizen of the state resulted into gutter languages when referring to even an ordinary citizens not to talk of a revered traditional ruler.

According to him, “It’s embarrassing and shameful for Egbedun to have reacted in such manner. My thoughts when I first listened to the audio was that his phone was cloned but when I read his response this morning where he admitted to have been the one, I was surprised.

“No matter the offence of Alashi, Egbedun should have made use of all the established avenues to report the monarch and call the monarch to order rather than resulting into an insolent and childish acts.

“If Egbedun has no regard for his hometown monarch, he could have at least, as a Yoruba man, have a level of respect for the stool Alashi is occupying which is permanent compared to political posts.

“The monarch is old enough to be his (Egbedun) father, he should have shown decorum as a fortunate youth in the state rather than exposing our dear state to a ridicule as seen on all social media platforms presently.

“He is ruining the chances of youth, not only in Osun state, but in Nigeria, as people will start having second thoughts on entrusting power and position in younger generations.

“It is shameful and uncalled for. Egbedun has shown he has no capacity to manage crisis. If he could do that to his own king, definitely, no monarch in the state is above his tongue lashing sooner or later if something urgent is not done.

“As a stakeholder in the polity of Osun state, the honourable thing for Egbedun to do now is to step aside. He hasn’t shown any sign of remorse. Leaders of thoughts should rise fast and lend their voices to this call. Osun belongs to all of us.

..they are known to always insult their elders from.back to back..no respect for elders & traditional authority..

..they claim others don't respect their elders.. but see the small boy insulting & threatening an oba..

..when they feel they have power...snatched mandate..they insult everyone..Just thesame way they insult Nigerians because of a kingpin..

This hate-filled op has seen ammunition, nah to dey fire dey go.

Lol. Dude desperately needs a life. Egbedun is one person, but you still managed to drag the governor and the whole PDP into it. Your hate is out of this world.

I hope you find peace someday and I hope APC keeps feeding you so you can keep attacking all their enemies and singing their praise.

Retarded people everywhere.

This one obviously lacks humility as a human being

Prince of Aba, you don surface again?.....you don tire for Tinubu talk?

Both the pba and the speaker look and behave like touts

What was done about the leaked audio that Obi was threatening a religious war during campaign?

Na my local government of origin be this heheheh. We don finally enter news

Shey Obas are cursed nii?

Instead of them to be peaceful and law abiding, na dem dey headline upandan for the wrongest reasons..
Before you talk say I no read wetin happen... I read am but my take is why always OBAS

The leader of the House of Osun State house of Assembly should suspend the speaker Wale Egbedun immediately for threatening a old kind that's older than his father. Very bad example to Nigeria youths.

The Youth in power crooners. I hope you can see that fvck up no know age

Imagine this kind of behavior from a leader of tomorrow that has been given the opportunity to lead today. Very shameful.
