The prominent traditional ruler expressed immense gratitude to the Almighty for the safe arrival of the newborns, confirming that both the mother and the infants are in excellent health.

Prophetess Mary Olubori Dasmola, a popular religious leader and close associate of the royal family, subsequently shared an emotional video documenting the journey on her verified Instagram account.

The footage captured intimate moments of the pregnancy alongside the final delivery room experience, serving as a digital palace exhibit of the family’s private milestone.

In her accompanying statement, Prophetess Mary Olubori Dasmola expressed profound happiness regarding the birth, stating that the arrival of the children transformed previous societal reproaches into global praise.

The cleric emphasized her faith during the congratulatory post, reinforcing her belief in miraculous interventions for those awaiting parenthood.

This latest birth marks a significant chapter for the monarch, who expanded his household following the dissolution of his previous marriage to Olori Naomi Silekunola in December 2021.

The sovereign later wedded six wives within a three-month period, citing the strict demands of the ancient cultural heritage of the Ile-Ife kingdom as the primary reason for maintaining a large royal court.

The arrival of the twins expands the growing royal lineage, following the births of twins to Olori Tobi Phillips and a son to Olori Ashley Afolashade within the last two years.
