The palace of Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, says it has begun probing the possible hacking of Olori Naomi’s Instagram page.
It debunked rumours that the marriage between the monarch and his wife had ended.
Olori Naomi had supposedly announced through her social media handles on Thursday that her marriage to Ogunwusi has ended.
But in his first official reaction to the claim, the Director of Media and Strategy, Ooni’s palace, Moses Olafare, said as of Wednesday evening, Ogunwusi and Naomi went to bed as husband and wife.
According to him, separation in marriage cannot be done by one of the parties, stressing that a probe will be launched into whether or not Naomi’s Instagram was hacked.
Olafare, during an interview with our correspondent, said, “Separation is a two-way affair, it is not something that is announced by one party. The announcement of separation is subject to agreement by both parties.
“The palace is not aware of such separation because we all went to bed last night (Wednesday) the two being the king and queen.
“So, if by this morning, the queen went to social media to write that she is no longer in marriage with Ooni, we will look into it to see whether or not the Instagram page truly belongs to her, and to know the reason behind it.”
