DESPITE MOTHER’S OPPOSITION, OBASANJO’S SON WEDS ‘BABA IJEBU’S’ DAUGHTER (PHOTOS)

The son of former Nigerian president, Olusegun Obasanjo and daughter of Kessington Adebutu, popularly known as Baba Ijebu, had their traditional marriage on Thursday, despite opposition by the groom’s mother.

Taiwo Obasanjo, wife of the ex-President had filed a suit at an Ikeja High Court seeking to stop the wedding.

She had claimed that the wedding will lead to disaster and strange deaths in the country.

But the court struck out the suit, stating that it lacked jurisdiction to hear it.

The traditional marriage, which held at the Balmoral Hall of Federal Palace Hotel in Lagos, was attended by politicians, business moguls, and traditional rulers.

The white wedding of Tolulope Adebutu and Olujonwo Obasanjo is expected to take place on Saturday.
