The palace of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has said it is not yet aware of the decision by the Queen of Ile - Ife, Olori Naomi Silekunola Ogunwusi, to quit from her marriage to the first class yoruba monarch.
Spokesman of the Ooni of Ife, Mr Moses Olafare, made this position known on Thursday.
The Daily Crucible had earlier reported that Queen Naomi had announced her separation from Ooni Ogunwusi, saying no one should referred to her as the wife of Ooni or Queen of Ile - Ife any longer.
Naomi who described herself as the Queen of the people and mother of her son, on her Instagram handle, said she had decided to move on with her life
However, reacting to inquiries in respect of Olori Naomi announced divorce with Oba Ogunwusi, Olafare was quoted as saying, “The palace is not aware of the decision of the Olori."
“Kabiyesi has not briefed me on the matter, but I will get back to you soon.”
Palace spokesman, Chief Moses Olafare said “Separation is a two-way affair.
“It is not something that is announced by one party.
“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 see read about the separation on social media.
“Even by this time yesterday (Wednesday), Kabiyesi was still packaging a special gift for her.
“If you want to separate with someone, you cannot be packaging a gift for her.
"I am aware that Kabiyesi was putting special gifts for her for Christmas."
