Nigerian highlife musician from Delta State, Dr. Arube Otor, known as “Isoko Fela One,” is set to marry three women in a single ceremony on January 19, 2025. The wedding will take place at the Anglican Church Field in London Base, Uzere Kingdom, Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State.
A wedding flier circulating on social media shows Arube wearing matching attire with his three brides-to-be: Oghenekome, Ewoma, and Oghenekaro, all from Delta State.
Arube’s foster son and event coordinator, Emperor Efih, confirmed the wedding details on Wednesday. Efih explained that four women were initially planned for the ceremony, but one withdrew for personal reasons.
“The decision to marry all three women at once was partly to save costs,” Efih said. “Arube had previously married two women, but one divorced him, leaving him with one wife. He decided to remarry multiple partners this year.”
Dr. Arube has been a fixture in the Delta State music scene for over three decades, gaining fame for his contributions to Isoko highlife music. He began his career as a driver while performing music part-time before forming his own band 12 years ago. Arube has since released more than 10 albums.
The three brides come from various regions of Delta State.
– Oghenekome is from Lagos-Iyede, Ndokwa East LGA.
– Ewoma hails from Oruamudhu, Ozoro Kingdom, Isoko North LGA.
– Oghenekaro represents Uroto Quarter, Ozoro Kingdom, Isoko North LGA.
Arube completed traditional marriage rites with all three women simultaneously last year. Two of the brides have already given birth to children with him, while the third is yet to conceive.
The wedding is expected to attract significant attention due to Arube’s prominence in Delta State’s music industry and his unconventional marital arrangements.
