The children of the late Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi have issued a strong warning to one of the widows of the late monarch, Queen Dami, asking her to refrain from making derogatory remarks about him during interviews.
The warning comes days after Queen Dami, in a recent interview with Nigerian journalist Esabod Aboderin, referenced the late Alaafin while discussing her relationship crisis with her ex-lover, Portable
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.”
Reacting, the monarch family, in a letter dated 22nd January via the Instagram page of his daughter, Aminat Adeyemi, cautioned Dami to cease mentioning their late father’s name in future interviews, else they will take legal action against her.
The family also stated that the estranged queen is the only widow of the late king, 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.”
