Ooni to marry 6th wife, Temitope Adesegun, on Monday

Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, is set to marry a new wife, Temitope Adesegun Ogunwusi on Monday.

Ogunwusi will be the revered Yoruba monarch’s sixth wife.

This is coming barely three days after Ooni married his fifth wife, Princess Aderonke Ademiluyi, who hails from a royal family, in Ile-Ife, Osun State.

The monarch’s spokesperson, Moses Olafare, disclosed this via a Facebook post on Sunday.

Olafare stated that the Ooni’s sixth wife-to-be hails from Ijebu, Ogun State.

“Olori Temitope Adesegun Ogunwusi an Ijebu Princess cum Ile-Ife Queen. Tomorrow is the D-day,” he wrote.

Ooni had earlier married Mariam Anako from Kogi State and Ashley Adegoke, who hails from Lafogido royal house in Ile-Ife.

The other wives of Ooni include Elizabeth Akinmuda and Tobi Phillips.

Ooni had earlier married Adebukola Bombata in 2008 but the marriage failed.

He later married Edo-born Zainab-Otiti Obanor in 2016 but the union lasted for 17 months before their separation.

The traditional ruler married Naomi Silekunola in 2018 but the marriage ended in 2021.
