The prominent Cole family of Victoria Island, Lagos, has denounced the recent traditional wedding of their son, Taiwo, to actress and comedienne, Wofai Fada which took place in Delta State.
Unconfirmed reports claim Taiwo’s father rejected their marriage because of their age difference.
In a viral statement issued by Kunle Cole, the family dissociated themselves from the marriage, saying they were unaware of the marriage plans and did not grant consent or support.
“This serves to notify all acquaintances, family and friends that the Cole family of Victoria Island, Lagos, are not aware of any marriage ceremony of our son,Taiwo Olakitan Cole; neither did we grant permission nor support in this regard,” the statement read.
“As such, person(s) parading themselves as new members of the Cole heritage by virtue of this purported event, are not known nor accepted by the family. All publications and documents being circulated about this are to be disregarded,” the statement read.
Wofai and Taiwo took to their Instagram pages on Saturday to share pre-wedding photos.
One of the posts read, “I found my happily ever after, and I said yes !! Chai !! Love is sweet o. Thank you guys for all the love and messages.”
However, Taiwo’s sister who appears to be in support of the union, posted pictures from their traditional wedding on X with a congratulatory message.
She wrote: “Congratulations to my twin brother and my new sister in love – your union is blessed with love Let love lead! #TWO24.”
