Alaafin of Oyo

This is certainly a good time for the Alaafin of Oyo Kingdom, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, as he engages in double celebration, with two of his many wives delivered of sets of twins within one week.

Few days after one of his wives, Ayaba Memunat Omowumi Adeyemi, Omoh I, was delivered of a set of female twins, another, Ayaba Badirat Olaitan Adeyemi, Ola I, on Monday, February 26, gave birth to a set of male twins at a private hospital in the ancient town of Oyo.

Since the arrival of all four babies, it has been celebration galore in the home of the influential monarch, as many excited residents besieged the palace to felicitate with the royal father on what they called wonderful gifts from God.
