Sister of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeye Ogunwusi have broken silence over the reported crash of the Ooni of Ife’s marriage to his wife, Olori Naomi..

You would recall that Olori Naomi confirmed that she has left the royal monarch’s palace and has come to the end of their marriage which lasted for three years. She warned not to be addressed as the wife or Queen of the Ooni of Ife.

However, following rumour being spread online, Ooni of Ife’s sisters under the aegis of Ooni Royal Sisters, in a statement on Tuesday, January 4 signed by Princess Folashade Ogunwusi-Fadairo, said the allegations were false.

Their statement reads, “We refer to the campaign of calumny presently ongoing in many media blogs, media houses, on the social media and by hatchet jobbers against our family targeting us, the sisters of the Ooni of Ife as being the cause of any or all forms of misunderstanding or ‘imaginary problems’ in the Palace. These despicable humans have been circulating the ‘fake’ news on various fake media outlets on matters none of them have an inkling of but will like to speak with unreserved authority.”

Also shooting down allegations that they usurp information in the palace to their advantage, the sisters said,

“Since the Ooni of Ife ascended the throne of our forefathers, NONE of us (the sisters) has ever lived in the palace. None of us have ever been overtly or covertly been involved in any of the day-to-day activities of the palace. We do not make any decisions whatsoever and only visit the palace when there are special events that our family, the Giesi family are required to be involved according to tradition.

“We all live in Lagos in our different homes with our different families and are extremely busy with our businesses. We have never stopped praying for the success of our revered King, peace in Yoruba land and prosperity to all our people.”
