Ooni of Ife marries 5th wife

Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, on Thursday, married a new wife, Princess Aderonke Ademiluyi, in Ile-Ife, Osun State.

Princess Ademiluyi, who hails from a royal family in Ile-Ife, becomes the fifth woman to be married to Ooni.

The latest nuptial is coming barely a week after the revered Yoruba monarch married Ashley Adegoke, who hails from Lafogido royal house, also in Ile-Ife.

Ooni had earlier married Mariam Anako from Kogi State.

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

Princess Aderonke is the great-granddaughter of late Ooni Ajagun Ademiluyi.

She is a law graduate of West London University and the founder of Africa Fashion Week London, an annual fashion event that promotes and nurtures African and African-inspired design talent.

Princess Aderonke is a cousin of the priestess of Olokun, Yeye Lara Fashola.

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 only 17 months before their separation.

The traditional ruler married Naomi Silekunola in 2018 and it ended in 2021.
