Wofai’s wedding gets messy as in-laws reject union with their son
After a video of their son’s traditional wedding with Wofai surfaced on social media, the Cole family issued a disclaimer.
What is meant to be an amazing love story for Nollywood actress and comedian, Wofai Ewu, popularly known as Wofai Fada, may be turning into a messy affair as her wedding to Taiwo Olakitan Cole has been enmeshed in a family controversy.
It all started after the comedian announced her engagement to Taiwo on her Instagram page on Saturday, May 4, 2023.
Without any caption, Wofai shared loved-up photos of herself and her heartthrob, flaunting 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.
The Cole family disowns Wofai
However, this introduced an unexpected twist to the love story as 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.
