The well-known Cole family of Victoria Island, Lagos, has disapproved of their son, Taiwo, getting married to actress and comedian, Wofai Ewa, in a traditional ceremony in Ugep, Cross River State.
In a statement released by the family head, Kunle Cole, which has become widely known, the family distanced themselves from the marriage, stating that they were not informed of the wedding plans and did not give consent or support.
“This is to inform all acquaintances, family and friends that the Cole family of Victoria Island, Lagos, are not informed about any wedding ceremony of our son, Taiwo Olakitan Cole; nor did we give permission or support for this,” the statement said.
It added, “Thus, individuals portraying themselves as new members of the Cole lineage because of this alleged event, are not recognized or accepted by the family. Any publications and documents regarding this matter are to be ignored.”
The disapproval comes after images and videos circulated showing Taiwo taking part in what seemed to be a traditional marriage ritual with Ewa, who comes from Ugep in Cross River.
Wofai and Taiwo posted marriage photos on their Instagram pages on Saturday.
One of the posts said, “I found my happily ever after, and I said yes !! Wow !! Love is amazing. Thank you guys for all the love and messages.”
Wofai, who has a million followers on Instagram, is a chef, actress and comedian.
