The palace of Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ooni of Ife, has refuted reports that the monarch’s favorite wife, Prophetess Naomi Silekunola, had divorced him.
The palace spokesman, Chief Moses Olafare, told journalists on Thursday, December 23, 2021, that the palace is unaware of the separation and that the Ooni still loves queen Naomi.
On the night of Wednesday, December 22, 2021, he claims the queen and Oba Ogunwusi Adeyeye were together. The queen, on the other hand, surprised everyone when she revealed on her Instagram page that she had ended her marriage to the Ooni.

Chief Olafare further stated that the Ooni was planning a special Christmas gift for Queen Naomi, which cannot be the case if they are divorced, as claimed.
This is in response to queen Naomi’s earlier assertion on her Instagram page that she had ended her marriage to the Ooni.
The palace spokesman said in part;
“The announcement of separation is subject to an agreement by both parties, so, to that extent, the palace is not aware of such separation because we all went to bed last night having the king and queen being together.
“So, if by this morning, the queen went to her 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.
“But as of today, this moment, the palace is not aware of the separation. Marriage is a private affair. No matter how prominent the personalities involved, it is a private affair. “We will dig deeper and know what happened but as I said, all of us just woke up to read about the separation on social media. “Even by this time yesterday, Kabiyesi was still packaging a special gift for her. If you want to separate from someone, you cannot be packaging a gift for her. “I am aware that Kabiyesi was putting special gifts for her for Christmas. If he is not in love with her, he cannot be doing that, only to wake up the following morning to hear from the public that she is no longer in the relationship.
