The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi (Ọjájá II), has welcomed a set of twins from one of his queens, Olori Tobi.

The revered Yoruba monarch shared the news of the twins' arrival in a post on his verified Instagram account on Saturday, March 16, 2024.

The post disclosed that Olori Tobi gave birth to a prince and princess on Saturday.

The Ooni said the mother and the babies were in great condition, as he thanked the almighty for the rare gift.

“To God be the glory, great things he has done. Hearty congratulations to the entire House of Oduduwa and Olori Tobiloba, who today birthed a prince and princess to the royal throne of Oduduwa.

“Mother and children are doing well to the glory of God Almighty,” the caption on the post read.
