Mariam lost her dad at a young age and was brought up in the home of the former IGP Mohammed Dikko Abubakar who reigned as the boss of the Nigerian Police between (2012 to 2014). MD Abubakar as he is known, is the in-law of Africa’s wealthiest man – Alhaji Aliko Dangote. The Ooni’s new mother-in-law is a retired police officer.
Report says Mariam Anako works at NestOil.
She is said to have vowed that Ooni Adeyeye will not marry again after her marriage to him.
Palace sources revealed that before the wedding of Mariam Anako to the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi on Tuesday, September 6, 2022, the family introduction held in February 19, 2022.
The event was privately done and lacked fanfare since the monarch didn’t want any preying eyes of the media.
Ooni’s spokesperson, Moses Olafare, could not be reached for further comment on Wednesday as calls to his line rang out.
