Olori Naomi in December, 2021 announced her separation from her husband on her social media.

The Akure king was said to have visited both parties in a bid to end the rift between the couple.

“It will interest you that the matter would soon be resolved as both parties have agreed to sheathe their swords. Differences are normal in marriage, it is nothing unusual, it is a teething problem and within a couple of days, the Olori will move back to the palace and life will continue.”

“Yes, the Chairman Council of Obas in the state, the Deji of Akureland personally paid a private visit to both parties and the matter was discussed and being ironed out. The process is ongoing and all the tension has gone down.”
