All 13 wives now turned widows of the late Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi are now available to remarry any suitor following the death of the king but restricted from remarrying indigenes of Oyo.

The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi passed on late on Friday, April 22 at the Afe Babalola University Teaching Hospital, Ado Ekiti in Ekiti State, at the age of 83.

Besides, it has also been revealed that all the 13 wives of Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III, the 45th Alaafin of Oyo, may now be available to suitors without undergoing cleansing rituals after the demise of the renowned monarch.

Although some of the wives of the late Alaafin left him while some walked out of the marriage, palace sources told Peoples Gazette that the late Alaafin’s wives may now move on with their normal lives and remarry if they choose.

“They are not performing any cleansing; They are free to move on with their lives,” he said. Nonetheless, he said. “The wives cannot get married to an indigene of Oyo.”

He added, “Now that Alaafin is dead, they all would be asked to exit the palace with their belongings. Although the properties of the late monarch would be shared among them,” he said in noting that the wives of the late Alaafin could remarry but not to any indigene of Oyo.
