Olori Wuraola Ogunwusi has threatened to take legal action against the media houses that started the rumour that her marriage to the Ooni of the Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has failed.
In a statement shared by Bellanaija, the queen, through her press secretary Abraham Adedeji, dismissed the rumours as character defamation, and said she is thoroughly disgusted by the allegations.
Recall that rumours earlier alleged that the marriage failed following allegations that the queen was not on peaceful terms with the king’s family, and that she was cheating on her husband.
LIB later claimed that the marriage failed way back as March 2017, adding that the Olori has moved out of the palace and relocated to Lagos, and that a new queen has been pickedand will be unveiled in September.
Yesterday, the Ooni’s media aide called the news false, and now the Olori herself is threatening legal action against those who started the story.
See the statement:
