Ooni and Mariam
The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has taken a new wife 10 months after the exit of Naomi Silekunola.
The Star learnt that the new wife, Mariam Anako, arrived at the monarch’s palace in Ile-Ife, Osun State on Tuesday evening.
A source said that Mariam, an oil firm executive, was ushered into the palace after some traditional rites as the customs demand.
“After the rites, she was led to the inner court where the Ooni and other guests were waiting to receive her,” a source said.
