The prominent Cole family of Victoria Island, Lagos, has publicly rejected the marriage of their son, Taiwo, to Nigerian actress and comedian, Wofai Ewa.

Popularly known as Wofai Fada, the actress has featured in various popular Nigerian films including The Wedding Party 2 and Òlòtūré.

The family patriarch, Kunle Cole, issued a statement asserting their lack of knowledge and consent regarding the union. The engagement allegedly took place in a traditional ceremony in Ugep, Cross River State.

The family made it clear that they do not endorse or support the marriage. It subsequently disavowed any individuals claiming association with the Cole family due to this event.

“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. 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. All publications and documents being circulated about this are to be disregarded,” the Coles said.

“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.”
