Ooni Marries Mariam Anako

KanyiDaily recalls that Queen Naomi had taken to her Instagram page to announce the end of her three-year-old marriage with the Ooni on December 23, 2021.

The mother of one, who is a prophetess, disclosed that she tried to make their marriage work but the monarch’s public identity is clashing with his true self.

The Ooni’s marriage to Anako will be the monarch’s fourth marriage.

It was gathered that Ooni’s new wife, Mariam Anako who is identified as an oil and gas executive, was taken into the palace on Tuesday, September 6, 2022.

Anako was ushered into the palace after brief traditional rites at the entrance to the premises. She was thereafter led into the inner court of the palace to meet her husband and other guests waiting to receive her.

During the ceremony, Anako’s relations from Ebiraland in Kogi State and Ilorin in Kwara State were also present and they took turn to greet Ooni.

Photos and videos circulating on social media show Anako kneeling before the Ooni as he blessed her before she took her place beside him.
