Photos: Ooni of Ife Ogunwusi weds Olori Wuraola Otiti in Benin

His Imperial Majesty Oba, Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi  wedded his new bride, Wuraola Otiti Zynab Obanor, an architect based in Dubai, UAE from Benin, Edo state.

The colorful event was  attended by first class kings, political juggernauts, business titans and high-octane socialites from near and far, according to sources the Ooni wasn't there but sent representatives to marry his new wife, Wuraola Zynab Otiti.

The choice of Benin for the first part of the wedding is because the new Olori has Benin roots and is also from Ile-Ife.

The Ooni was said to have been smitten by the simple nature of ravishingly pretty Wuraola, who is a cousin to Jennifer Obayuwana, Polo boss daughter. Jennifer was one of those who first announced the marriage on her Instagram page. Ooni and Wuraola have been on courtship for a while.

Breaking News International reports that the wedding is considered strategic and imperative as it’s strictly against the tradition for a king to live in the palace without the olori (queen).

Oba Enitan Ogunwusi is a young monarch in his early 40s and stupendously rich. Tradition supports this marriage and there is likelihood of the Ooni marrying more as he progresses in his reign. It should be noted that Obas, generally, are not restricted to one wife.
