Alaafin of Oyo’s wife, Queen Anu alleges threat to life by monarch

Queen Anu, one of the wives of the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi has said she is being threatened and constantly harassed by the monarch for walking out of the marriage.

Queen Aanu raised the alarm on her Instagram page on Wednesday.

She explained that she left the union because she can no longer continue to live in bondage.

The mother of two further warned that if anything happened to her and her children, the public should hold the monarch responsible.

“This is an outcry to protect my life. That I left the palace should not warrant a threat to my life. I can never deny my children the right to their father, however, it is only motherly to have them with me.

“I am appaled that my family is being harassed because my location is unknown to the king. The attempt to also have me kidnapped failed, and I can no longer keep my silence.

”I refuse to live in bondage and will do anything within my human right to be free. I just want to live and be the mother of my children,” she wrote.
