The palace of Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi has downplayed the announcement of divorce made by the monarch’s wife Olori Naomi.
The monarch’s spokesman Moses Olafare said that as of Wednesday evening, Oba Ogunwusi and Naomi went to bed as husband and wife.
According to him, separation in marriage cannot be done by one of the parties, stressing that probe will be launched into whether or not her Instagram page was hacked.
“Separation is a two-way affair, it is not something that is announced by one party. The announcement of separation is subject to agreement by both parties,” he said.
“The palace is not aware of such separation because we all went to bed last night (Wednesday) the two being the king and queen.
“So, if by this (Thursday) morning, the queen went to social media to write that she is no longer in marriage with Ooni, we will look into it to see whether or not the Instagram page truly belongs to her, and to know the reason behind it.”
Mr Olafare claimed that as of Wednesday the Ooni was packaging a special gift for her.
Olori Naomi said in her post on various social media platforms on Thursday that she was leaving the Ooni because his true self is at variance with what he wants the world to think about him.
