Olori Naomi Silekunola Ogunwusi, the estranged wife of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, was reportedly hospitalized after collapsing following her arrest.
The former Queen had organized a charity event with Agidigbo 88.7 FM, Ibadan, owned by Oriyomi Hamzat, to feed the less privileged. Tragically, the event led to a stampede that claimed the lives of over 32 children. The state governor expressed deep sympathy for the victims' families and assured the public of ongoing efforts to provide support and prevent further casualties.
Following the incident, Olori Naomi was taken into police custody, where she reportedly collapsed and was rushed to a hospital for medical attention.
Reacting to the tragedy, the Ooni of Ife extended his condolences to the affected families and expressed solidarity with Olori Naomi. He praised her character and noted her history of organizing similar charitable events during her time as Queen.
This incident comes nearly two years after Olori Naomi announced her separation from the monarch in December 2022. In her statement, she revealed her decision to leave the palace after three years of marriage. Reflecting on her marriage, she acknowledged both the sweet and bitter moments and shared that her innocence and naivety made it difficult for her to navigate palace life. Since then, she has ruled out any possibility of returning, particularly as the monarch now has six wives.
