A video of Olori Toyin Sowemimo, the wife of Oba Kolawole Sowemimo, the monarch of the Owode-Egba Kingdom, has gone viral on social media, showing her in a distressed state. In the recording, the queen is seen with blood reportedly dripping down her face as she makes serious allegations against her husband.
The queen urged her followers and other Nigerians to share the clip widely, so that the alleged maltreatment she claims to have suffered at the hands of the king could be seen by all. She stated that it was her husband who allegedly caused the injury that affected her eyesight. Blood could be seen dripping from her face as she spoke and displayed the wound she claimed was inflicted on her.
Oba Kolawole Sowemimo Reacts to Allegation
Responding to the queen's claims, the monarch calmly denied the allegations, insisting that he did not lay a hand on her. He stated that he knew nothing about the incident she was describing and warned that anyone who shared the video, as requested by the queen, could face legal action.
Queen Responds to Monarch's Denial
In response, the queen, who spoke mainly in Yoruba throughout the video, questioned how she could have inflicted such injuries on herself. She added that the truth would eventually be established in court and that it would become clear who was telling the truth. The queen also described the monarch as illegitimate as she continued speaking and vowed to keep sharing the recording.
Fans React to Queen Sowemimo's Video
Many social media users were taken aback by the disturbing video and expressed concern over the allegations. Some appealed to both the monarch and the queen to remain calm and seek an amicable resolution to the dispute. Others said they had always believed the couple enjoyed a happy and seemingly perfect marriage and were surprised by the allegations being made publicly. A few commenters speculated that tensions over the possibility of the monarch taking another wife might be behind the alleged conflict, although there is no evidence to support this claim.
