The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, has publicly presented his twin sons during a colourful homecoming ceremony at his palace in Ile-Ife, Osun State.
A video shared by City Edge TV on Instagram on Friday showed the monarch seated at the palace as he held both newborn princes in his hands, one in each hand, while surrounded by traditional chiefs, dignitaries, members of the royal household and well-wishers.
Dressed in white traditional attire, a matching cap and strands of red coral beads, the Ooni smiled as he carried the twins, who were also dressed in white outfits with small traditional caps.
The formal gathering provided a public glimpse of the royal twins, whose arrival was announced by the monarch nearly four months ago.
On May 15, 2026, the Ooni announced the birth of the boys with his wife, Olori Mariam Ajibola Ogunwusi, in a Facebook post.
“To God be all the glory… Warmest congratulations to the entire House of Oduduwa and to Olori Mariam Ajibola on the joyous arrival of twin princes… both mother and children are in good health,” he wrote.
The royal family subsequently held a grand traditional naming ceremony at the Ile-Ife Palace on May 31.
The latest gathering, however, is primarily a public homecoming and formal presentation of the twins to members of the royal household, traditional leaders and well-wishers.
The palace grounds were filled with guests dressed in white traditional outfits, including agbadas, caps and coral beads.
The celebration comes months after the birth and naming of the twins and offered another opportunity for the royal family to publicly celebrate their arrival.
