The Cole family of Victoria Island have issued a disclaimer after their son, Taiwo Olakitan Cole’s traditional wedding with Nollywood actress and comedian, Wofai Ewu, popularly known as Wofai Fada, surfaced on social media.
The comedian had announced her engagement to Taiwo on her
Instagram page on Saturday, May 4, 2024, in loved-up photos of herself and her
heartthrob.
Woafi in her post without any caption, flaunted a ring worn
on the fourth finger of her left hand, unmistakably indicating that a formal
wedding was in the offing.
Expectedly, the post sparked congratulatory reactions as
fans, colleagues and admirers of the actress besieged the post’s comment
section to express their happiness over the development.
Moments after, videos from the couple’s traditional wedding
held in Wofai’s village in Ugep, Cross River State, made the rounds on social
media.
However, the in-law’s family immediately released a
statement to disown the union between their son and the actress.
The statement signed on behalf of the Cole family by Engr
Kunle Cole, notified everyone that neither was the family aware of nor granted
permission for the traditional wedding.
The in-laws warned that the couple shouldn’t parade
themselves as members of the Cole family as they’re not known or accepted by
the family.
“Images and videos come to our attention showing our son
Taiwo getting married to a Wofai Ewa in a traditional ceremony in Ugep, Cross
River State.
“This serves to notify all acquaintances, family and friends
that the Cole family of Victoria Island Lagos are not aware of any marriage
ceremony of our Son Taiwo Olakitan Cole, neither did we grant permission nor
support in this regard.
“As such, person(s) parading themselves as new members of
the Cole heritage by virtue of this purported event, are not known nor accepted
by the family. All publications and documents being circulated about this are
to be disregarded,” the Coles said.
