The family of Taiwo Cole, husband of Wofai Fada, the actress, have distanced themselves from the couple’s union.
Controversy broke out after Wofai shared photos from her engagement ceremony with Taiwo.
Shortly after, videos from the couple’s wedding ceremony in Cross River, Calabar started circulating on social media.
Taiwo’s family swiftly released a disclaimer on Sunday.
They stated that they were not aware of the marriage and did not support the union.
The family also stated that any individual claiming to be part of the Cole family due to this marriage is not recognised.
“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,” the statement reads.
“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, persons parading themselves as new members of the Cole heritage by this purported event is not known nor accepted by the family.
“All publications and documents being circulated about this are to be disregarded.”
Despite the disapproval from Taiwo’s family, Wofai shared a snippet from the marriage on her Instagram page.
