Olori Sekinat Elegushi, wife of the Elegushi of Ikateland, has thanked her supporters days after her husband debunked reports that she was hospitalised following a Brazilian butt lift (BBL).
The mother of three expressed her appreciation in a video shared by makeup artist Banke Meshida-Lawal who visited her at home in Lagos.
“Thank you all for the love and kindness. I appreciate it. I feel it. Love you all,” Olori Sekinat said in the video.
Some bloggers had reported that the king’s wife fell into a coma in Turkey after undergoing a bum enlargement surgery.
A popular London-based blogger even claimed the queen died from the surgery.
Oba Saheed Elegushi, however, debunked the reports in a statement released by his spokesperson Temitope Oyefeso on Monday, May 8, describing them as fake news “which only exist in the wicked imagination of the authors.”
The king added that his senior wife was hale and hearty and going about her responsibilities in the palace.
“The palace takes serious exception to any unfounded and malicious news regarding the royal family and will not hesitate to bring the full weight of the law on anyone found culpable,” the statement continued.
Oba Elegushi married Sekinat in 2003 and the union has produced three daughters.
The monarch married a second wife Hadiza Yakasai from Kano in 2019.
Olori Sekinat had said in an interview that she is not bothered by her husband’s decision to marry another wife and that all men cheat.
