Olori Naomi Silekunola Ogunwusi, the estranged wife of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has been reportedly rushed to the hospital following her arrest.
Kemi Filani reported early this week that Olori Naomi had gotten herself into trouble with her recent charity work. The mother of the crown prince, in collaboration with Agidigbo 88.7 FM, Ibadan, owned by Oriyomi Hazmat, had organized an event to feed the less privileged. Unfortunately, the event led to the death of over 32 children which was caused by a stampede.
The Governor, while sympathizing with the families of victims, noted that efforts had been made to stop further deaths and support victims.
Kemi Filani has learned that the former Queen reportedly collapsed and was rushed to the hospital shortly after her arrest by the police.
When the news of the incident broke out, Ooni expressed his heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families. He showed solidarity with Naomi. He spoke highly of her character and how she was fond of organising similar events when she was royalty.
Recall that in December 2022, Olori Naomi surprised many when she announced the end of her 3-year marriage to the monarch in a statement on her Instagram page.
Speaking on her divorce, the mother of the crowned Prince, ruled out the possibility of returning to the palace, as she noted how the monarch now has six wives. She said that though there were sweet moments in her marriage, there were also bitter moments, and she was too innocent and soft when she got married. But, she has learned now that life isn’t like that.
