BREAKING: Ooni Of Ife Breaks Silence On Separation From Queen Naomi [VIDEO]—-The Genius Media Nigeria reports that The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi on Friday said news reports circulating about his purported separation from his wife are “jokes”.
TGM had earlier reported that Olori Silekunola Naomi announced through her social media handles that her marriage to Ogunwusi has ended.
The queen said Ogunwusi has a picture he projects to the world and another one, which is his true self, adding that she had endured struggles in the marriage but could no longer bear it.
This is the third time Ooni’s marriage will crumble. Oba Ogunwusi’s first marriage with Adebukola Bombata in 2008 lasted for about eight years before their union hit the rock. The influential monarch moved to the ancient Benin Kingdom, where he married a lady, Zainab Otiti Obanor, in March 2016. The marriage lasted just one year, after Zainab filed and got a divorce in 2017.
A year after, Ooni Ogunwusi wedded Prophetess Silekunola Naomi. After giving birth to a son in the three–year-old marriage, the queen yesterday, asked the public to desist from calling her a wife to Ooni of Ife.
But speaking to BBC News Yoruba in an interview published on Friday evening, Ooni said: “Many of those circulating that news are jokers.”
“I heard so many things, but there is no problem here in my palace,” he added.
