The family of the late Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, has issued a stern warning to the ex-wife of the monarch, Queen Dami, to desist from tarnishing his reputation and defaming the late Oba while granting interviews.
This comes a few days after Queen Dami, in a recent interview with Nigerian journalist, Esabod Aboderin, over his issue with ex-lover, Portable, referenced the late Alaafin.
Part of her statement reads, “When I was in the Palace, the king didn’t allow us to work but I was selling fabrics online without his knowledge. Concerning Alaafin’s daughter who came out to say my son is not for the king, we never liked each other when I was in the palace, and that was why she came out to lie against me. I am ready to have a DNA test done on my son.”
However, the monarch family, in a letter via the Instagram page of his daughter, Aminat Adeyemi, warned Dami against mentioning their father’s name again in any interview or online publication and threatened to take legal action against her.
The family also stated that Dami was not the only widow of the late Oba, and her behaviour has become increasingly embarrassing and unacceptable.
The letter memo, which was written with the letter headed paper of the late Alaafin of Oyo but not signed by anyone, has the caption, “On behalf of the ADEYEMIS’ Dammy be warned ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ officialqueen_dami Okó melo lówà nidi bàbá yen abi…dey play ▶️ To be forewarned is to be forearmed.”
