Despite the controversy surrounding their union, the children of
Olusegun Obasanjo, former Nigerian president, and Kessington Adebutu,
popularly known as Baba Ijebu, had their wedding today in Lagos.
Taiwo Obasanjo, wife of the ex-president, had said the wedding will lead to disaster and strange deaths in the country.
She had filed a suit at an Ikeja high court, seeking to stop the
wedding but Lateefat Okunnu, the presiding judge, dismissed the suit on
the grounds that the court lacked jurisdiction to hear it because the
groom, 33, is an adult.
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 was witnessed by the high and mighty in the society.
Tolulope and Olujonwo had their introduction ceremony in December, at the Ikoyi, Lagos home of Adebutu.
