The Ooni, confirmed the rumours as he officially wedded his new queen in September.


A video that made rounds, showed the couple at their marital function.

One of the siblings of the Ooni, Princess Adesola Ogunwusi Shoremekun, had sweetly welcomed her.


Her mother and other family members from Kogi and Kwara states ushered her into the Ile Oodua Palace in Ile-Ife.


She was first received by the Ife Traditional Council members led by the Obalufe of Ife, Oba Idowu Adediwura and Lowa Adimula of Ife, High-Chief Adekola Adeyeye. After necessary traditional and spiritual rites performed by the Isoros(Chief priests), she presented to the Ogunwusi family and the husband.


The new Queen already has an Instagram page where she addresses herself as the wife of the Monarch.
