Why Obasanjo's Wife Asked Court To Stop Son's Wedding

Mrs Obasanjo, among others, is seeking a court declaration that as the mother of the groom, she has the rights to take part in the deliberations, forthcoming ceremony. According to her, wedding invitations have been sent out and she has been excluded from the preparations for the ceremonies.

She said she also  received prophesies and warnings from men of God to the effect that Olujonwo, her son who turns 34 on June 1, should not do or be involved in any elaborate celebration before his birthday.

The woman wants the court to compel Adebutu and Obasanjo to shift the wedding to a date after June 1 after she had appealed to Adebutu and Mrs Rosemary Dacosta, mother of the bride Tope Adebutu, the bride-to-be as well as Chief Kenny Martins. Justice Lateefa Okunnu has fixed April 10 for hearing of the suit.
