The monarch disclosed the development in a message shared on his official Facebook page, expressing gratitude to God for the safe delivery of the children.

According to the traditional ruler, both the mother and the newborn princes are in good health.

“To God be all the glory and adoration for His wondrous works and abundant blessings once again,” the statement read.

“Warmest congratulations to the entire House of Oduduwa and to Olori Mariam Ajibola on the joyous arrival of twin princes to the royal throne of Oduduwa today.

“We give thanks to Almighty God as both mother and children are in good health.”

The Ooni twin princes announcement has since attracted congratulatory messages from admirers, cultural stakeholders and members of the royal community.

The Ooni, one of Nigeria’s most influential traditional rulers, previously made headlines following the end of his marriage to Naomi Silekunola.

After the separation, the monarch married several wives within a short period in 2022, including Mariam Anako, Elizabeth Akinmuda, Tobiloba Philips, Ashley Adegoke, Ronke Ademiluyi and Temitope Adesegun.

During celebrations marking his 48th birthday and seventh coronation anniversary, the monarch explained that some of his marital decisions were influenced by the cultural and traditional heritage attached to the throne of Ile-Ife.
