Guests at Peter Okoye’s wedding needed special access cards to get in. In November 2013, with P-Square at the height of their fame, the singer married Lola Omotayo at The Ark in Lekki.
Years together first
Peter Okoye, now known as Mr P, had been with Lola Omotayo for many years, and the couple already had a child together before the wedding. P-Square, the duo he formed with his twin brother Paul, were among Africa’s biggest acts, and the wedding was always going to be a major event.
The Ark, 17 November 2013
The traditional wedding took place on 17 November 2013 at The Ark in Lekki, Lagos. Aliko Dangote and Folorunsho Alakija sat among the guests alongside Nigerian entertainers, and the media called it one of the weddings of the year. The access cards, meant to keep out gatecrashers, became a story of their own.
Family life
The couple have two children, Cameron and Aliona. Peter and Paul split and reunited more than once in the years that followed, and Lola stayed a steady presence through it.
