One of Africa’s most handsome monarchs, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II has officially wedded his 4th wife and long time lover, Princess Ashley Adegoke.
The wedding ceremony took place on Friday, October 14, at the bride’s family house situated on Olubose Street, along Ede road, IIe-Ife.
Just like his wedding to Tobi Phillips, the Ooni was not physically present at yesterday’s ceremony. However, the event had all the trappings of the Yoruba tradition.
The Ife high chiefs had, during the king’s wedding with the Kogi-born Olori Mariam Anako, warned the then bride that the monarch is not a one-wife man.
This year, the first class monarch has married Olori Mariam Anako from Ebira land in Kogi State. The 2nd is Olori Elizabeth Opeoluwa Ogunwusi nee Akinmuda who was betrothed to him shortly after his marriage to Mariam.
Ooni married Tobi Phillips as his third wife on Sunday, October 9, before his wedding with Princess Ashley yesterday, Friday, October 13.
The king’s 4th official union is his seventh marriage. Before his coronation in 2016, Oba Adeyeye was married to Adebukola Bombata in 2008, but the marriage failed soon after his coronation.
After being crowned, he wedded the Edo-born Zainab-Otiti Obanor in 2016, the union lasted 17 months before their separation. He then married Naomi Silekunola in 2018.
Ooni’s new marriage is coming ten months after Queen Naomi Silekunola took to social media to announce her separation from the monarch in December 2021.
