Cole family rejects Wofai Fada’s marriage to their son

The Cole family of Victoria Island, Lagos State, has distanced itself from the traditional marriage of their son Taiwo Olakitan Cole and actress Wofai Fada.

In a statement signed by Engr. Kunle Cole on behalf of the family on Sunday, the family noted that they did not “grant permission nor support” the wedding.

Chronicle NG reports that Wofai Fada, a popular actress and comedian, married her lover, Taiwo Olakitan Cole, in a traditional wedding ceremony that wowed admirers all over the internet.

Photos and videos from the ceremony soon circulated on social media platforms, prompting an outpouring of love and good wishes from fans and supporters alike.

Wofai Fada, who is known for her contagious humour and engaging performances, announced her engagement to Taiwo Olakitan Cole on Instagram on Saturday.

Responding to the news of the wedding, the Cole family urged the public to disregard the “purported” wedding.

The statement from the Cole family reads, “Images and videos come to our attention showing our son Taiwo getting married to a Worai Ewa in a traditional ceremony in Ugep, Cross River State.

“This serves to notify all acquaintances, family, and friends that the Cole family of Victoria Island, Lagos, is not aware of any marriage ceremony of our son Taiwo Olakitan Cole, nor did we grant permission or support in this regard.

“As such, the person(s) parading themselves as new members of the Cole heritage by virtue of this purported event are neither known nor accepted by the family.

“All publications and documents being circulated about this are not to be considered.”
