The monarch’s wife, Queen Silekunola Naomi, has separated from, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ife.
On Thursday, queen Naomi declared on Instagram, “I shall no longer be referred to as wife to the Ooni of Ife or as Queen of Ile Ife,” referring to herself as Queen of the People and mother of her son.
Naomi went on to accuse the monarch of hypocrisy, claiming that the Ooni’s public image is not representative of his true character.”
I bless the Lord almighty for His faithfulness in the last three years of my marriage,” she says in her post. It doesn’t matter how far you go in life.
Even if Satan tries to buffet me, I have this blessed assurance controlling all situations and saying to me, “It is well with my soul.” Everything is, without a doubt, fine.
I made my way into the ancient throne of Ife with faith in my heart and love for the keeper of the ancient throne of Ife.

However, in an interview with Vanguard, Ooni’s spokesman, Moses Olafare, said the alleged divorce is a rumour, asking the public to disregard the claim.
“This is not the first time such rumours had been peddled. There was a time it was reported that she left the palace and the next thing, she gave birth. So, the story is not true and it should not be taken seriously.”
