The palace of a foremost traditional ruler in Ogun State, HRM Oba Adeyemi Adekeye of Jogaland in Yewa North local government area, is currently in the eye of the storm.
According to palace sources, the respected monarch’s alleged steamy affair with a woman from the United Kingdom is currently the talk of the town.
Sources named the woman at the centre of the topic as Bunmi Christy; she is said to be the latest apple of the king’s eyes. Bunmi was allegedly introduced to the monarch by his daughter, Princess Abisoye in London. They soon became an item.
Bunmi, we gathered, was married and yet to officially divorce her man before she met Oba Adekeye. She was said to have got into a fight with her husband and left him and their children and relocated to join the monarch in Nigeria.
We were informed that the said Bunmi had been embroiled in series of controversies in the past, details of which were presented to us but withheld until fully investigated.
In a move to cement her place in the heart of the monarch, Bunmi, reportedly put up her London property for sale at 410,000 pounds allegedly to raise funds to finance her royal lifestyle. Also, she was said to have plans to use a part of the proceeds from the house sale to support the palace’s ongoing projects which includes a filling station and shopping mall.
Sources said that she has thus far successfully warmed her way into the monarch’s heart.
Our reporter’s effort to reach the monarch or Lady Bunmi for their side of the story proved abortive.
