Queen Anu, one of the wives of the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi has said she is being threatened and constantly harassed by the monarch for walking out of the marriage.

Queen Anu has asked the police to hold the monarch responsible if anything happens to her.

Queen Anu raised the alarm on her Instagram page.

Speaking on the reason for leaving the palace, the monarch's wife stated that she could not continue to live in bondage and wants to live her life to the best for herself and her children.

She said: "This is an outcry to protect my life. That I left the palace should not warrant a threat to my life. I can never deny my children the right to their father, however, it is only motherly to have them with me.

"I am appaled that my family is being harassed because my location is unknown to the king. The attempt to also have me kidnapped failed, and I can no longer keep my silence. I refuse to live in bondage and will do anything within my human right to be free. I just want to live and be the mother of my children."

It was learnt that few months ago, Queen Anu said she was at peace in her marriage to the elderly monarch.

The mother of two noted that a woman may marry a young man and he collapses and dies after some years. She also stated that another woman can also get married to a young man and they live long together.

According to her, everything depends on the grace of God, which she says that she received by marrying the Oyo monarch.
