The father of Priscilla Ojo, daughter of Nollywood star Iyabo Ojo, who tied the knot in a Nikkah ceremony in Tanzania with her lover, Tanzanian artist Juma Jux, was noticeably absent.
TheNewsGuru reports that Priscilla Ojo, tied the knot with her Tanzanian sweetheart, Juma Mkambala also known as Juma Jux, in a stunning Islamic ceremony held in Tanzania on Friday.
The beautiful wedding ceremony was a perfect blend of Nigerian and Tanzanian traditions, reflecting the couple’s love and commitment to each other.
Priscilla, who has been in a relationship with Juma Jux for several years, looked absolutely stunning in a gold-embroidered bridal gown, complete with a stylish turban, while Juma Jux sported a traditional Jalabia, showcasing the cultural significance of the occasion.
Howcever, in the photos and videos that surfaced on social media, only captured the popular actress Iyabo Ojo, her son, Festus Ojo, and Enioluwa Adeoluwa, with a few family members in the ceremony but, none of the photos captured her ex-husband, the father of the children in attendance.
Priscilla’s father’s absence has stirred speculation with many assuming that he was absent because he wasn’t invited, especially as he hasn’t been involved in her upbringing since he split from Iyabo Ojo.
Iyabo Ojo had always mentioned that after their marriage ended, her children— Festus and Priscilla— did not know she had divorced their father until Priscilla was 15.
She said, “I ensured they never felt it (divorce). Every Christmas, I ensured they got double gifts from me and their dad, and I did that for a long time. Whenever they asked about their dad, I told them he was a traveller, and they grew up believing that.”
