UPDATE: Ooni of Ife speaks on the alleged crash of his marriage

In an exclusive chat with Legit.ng, the Ooni of Ife Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi has dismissed rumours about the alleged crash of his marriage.

There have been rumours circulating in the media that the 17 months old marriage of the Ooni and his wife Olori Wuraola has crashed.

However, speaking with Legit.ng on phone, the Ooni's director of media Comrade Moses Olafare debunked the rumours saying that he and his wife have a happy marriage. He said there is no truth to the news, it is unimaginable. He insisted that the palace will not make any formal reaction on it for that will only amount to a needless misdirection of energy

According to the Ooni’s media aide, the palace was not aware of the rumour until Legit.ng contacted the palace for an interview.

Olafare said: "Ooni Ogunwusi is a working monarch committed to moving the African race forward especially in the areas of cultural tourism, youth development and women empowerment. So he's too busy to be responding to unfounded rumours and too focused to be distracted by some faceless practitioners of jungle journalism abusively benefiting from the opportunistic social media porosity"
