The daughter of the late Alaafin of Oyo, Adeyemi Adebisi Aminat has stirred up controversy as she accused Queen Dami, her father’s ex-wife of paternity fraud and buying her child from Port Harcourt.
Background on Queen Dami’s marriage to the Alaafin.
Queen Dami was married to the late Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyeye but the marriage crashed when she allegedly breached palace rules. She left the palace and attributed her actions to frustration and bad advise from friends. Unfortunately the relationship with the monarch was never mended before his death in 2022.
Reacting to Queen Dami’s recent activities, Aminat accused he of mocking someone over their child’s paternity while hiding the truth about her own child. She said she has the evidence including blood tests to back her claims.
Aminat said Queen Dami bought her child in Port Harcourt.
She also said the Alaafin’s throne must be respected and not ridiculed.
According to her, the royal family is silent out of respect but knows the details.
Aminat wrote: “Dammy, you are insulting someone over the paternity of their child. Do you even know the father of your own child? The child you bought in Port Harcourt. Just because we are silent doesn’t mean we don’t have the facts. The Alaafin’s throne is not to be disrespected. I have all the blood tests and evidence from before the king passed away. Return the child to the rightful owner.”
This has generated mixed reactions online with many asking if the allegations are true and others asking for discretion. The allegations is a clear indication of the ongoing crisis in the late monarch’s family and former associates.
Queen Dami has not responded to the allegations yet.
This is a clear case of the complexities of royal family dynamics and the challenges of respecting traditional institutions. We wait to see what will happen next as the truth of this allegations will have a big impact on the legacy of the Alaafin’s throne.
