The revered monarch shared the news in a statement posted on his official social media pages on Friday, expressing gratitude to God for the safe delivery of the children and the wellbeing of their mother.
According to the statement, both Olori Mariam and the newborn princes are in good health. The royal family also described the development as a moment of joy for the entire House of Oduduwa.
