The children of Olusegun Obasanjo, former Nigerian president, and Kessington Adebutu,popularly known as Baba Ijebu, tied the knot of traditional marriage on Thursday despite warnings no to do so.

Taiwo Obasanjo, wife of the ex-president, had said that the wedding will be used to harvest souls; guests will die before their time.

She tried to stop the wedding by filling a suit at an Ikeja high court, but Lateefat Okunnu, the presiding judge, dismissed the suit on the grounds that the court lacked jurisdiction to hear it because the groom, 33, is an adult.

The traditional marriage, which held at the Balmoral Hall of Federal Palace Hotel in Lagos, was attended by politicians, business moguls, and traditional rulers.

The white wedding of Tolulope Adebutu and Olujonwo Obasanjo is expected to take place on Saturday.
