A 55-year-old Delta State highlife musician, Dr Arube Otor, popularly known as Isoko Fela One is set to marry three women on the same day.

The event, scheduled for Sunday, January 19, 2025, will be held at Anglican Church Field at London Base, Uzere Kingdom, Isoko South Local Government Area of the state.

In the viral marriage flier, Arube was pictured in the same dress as his three to-be wives, Oghenekome, Ewoma, and Oghenekaro, all from Delta State.

Cnfirming the event to our correspondent via telephone on Wednesday, Arube?s foster son and one of the RSVPs, Emperor Efih (Oscar), said the event would be held at the said place and time, adding that the to-be wives were initially four, but one pulled out along the line for personal reasons.

Efih attributed Arube?s action to cost-cutting.

He said, ?Arube married two women about 20 years ago. One divorced him, leaving him with just one wife. To cut costs, he decided to marry four women this year. Along the way, one pulled out.

?He is a music legend in Delta. He sings Isoko highlife. He has been in the music scene for over 30 years. However, at the beginning of his life, he was a driver who mixed music with his career. He had a band with a group of people, but they split up, and he formed his dance band, which he named Arube, about 12 years ago. Since then, he has released more than 10 albums.

The official invitation card for Dr Arube and his three wives.

?None of them is from his community, so he didn?t woo them in the same place or time. Two of the three women have given birth to a child, each for him, and the other one is still awaiting the fruit of her womb. He did the traditional rite with them about last year on the same day.?

Arube is from Uzere Kingdom, in Isoko-South LGA, and the three wives representing Edafemaga, Agbede, and Samuel Atubi are from Lagos-Iyede in Ndokwa East LGA, Oruamudhu Ozoro Kingdom in Isoko North LGA and Uroto Quarter, Ozoro Kingdom in Isoko North LGA of Delta State respectively.
