Evangelist Naomi Silekunola, the estranged wife of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi Ojaja II, has urged abused wives who realize that their marriages can’t work to quit.
In a post on her verified social media account today, the 28-year-old evangelist said married women should stop seeking societal validation, and shunned those who can’t reason with their sufferings.
Olori Naomi, in the tribute-like post, also mourned popular gospel artiste, Osinachi Nwachukwu, who reportedly died as a victim of gender-based violence.
The Federal Capital Territory Police Command, has subsequently arrested the widower of the deceased, Peter, over alleged assault, noting that investigation had commenced.
According to Olori Naomi, the late Osinachi’s songs ministered to her several times.
Olori Naomi had announced her separation from the monarch through an Instagram post in December 2021. She had also renounced the title of a ‘Queen’, saying she tried to make the three-year union work but the Ooni’s public identity is at variance with “his true self”.
