Ooni Of Ife Remarries After Naomi’s Split

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has married a new wife, Mariam Anako, about nine months after then Queen Naomi Silekunola announced her separation from the first-class monarch.

Channels Television gathered from palace sources that the monarch received his new bride on Tuesday evening after brief rites at the palace in Ile-Ife, Osun State.

It was also learnt that siblings of the new queen and Oba Ogunwusi were present at the private ceremony.

The spokesman for the monarch, Moses Olafare, splashed photos and videos of the event on his Facebook page.

Though efforts to speak with Olafare proved abortive as of press time as his calls rang out, palace sources confirmed to our correspondent that Anako was received at the palace on Tuesday evening. Sources also said an official statement will soon be released by the palace.
