The Cole family of Victoria Island, Lagos State, has issued a statement disassociating themselves from the reported wedding of their son, Taiwo Olakitan Cole, to Nollywood actress and comedian, Wofai Fada.
Following the circulation of traditional wedding photos and videos online, purportedly showcasing the union between Taiwo and Wofai, the Cole family clarified that they had no knowledge of the marriage and did not grant their consent or support for it.
In a letter shared on social media signed by Engr. Kunle Cole, representing the family, addressed their friends, acquaintances, and the public, informing them of their stance on the matter.
The statement unequivocally stated that the Cole family did not endorse the alleged marriage and urged anyone claiming association with the Cole heritage due to the purported event to desist from doing so.
The letter read: “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. 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, person(s) parading themselves as new members of the Cole heritage by virtue of this purported event, are not known nor accepted by the family.
