The internet is ablaze as Pastor Chris Okafor’s ex-wife, Agnes Bessem Okafor, has finally spoken out, dropping bombshell after bombshell in a dramatic video response to the pastor’s recent public statements about their marriage and divorce. The video, which has gone viral, features Bessem firing back at Okafor’s narrative and making jaw-dropping accusations that have left the public reeling.
Bessem, who claims she married Okafor at just 18, insists their marriage was both traditional and legal,directly contradicting rumors that she was merely a “side partner.” She even challenged doubters to check with the living witnesses of their wedding, emphasizing that their four children are proof of a legitimate union.
In a move that has shocked many, Bessem revealed she was the one who ended the marriage, citing Okafor’s “lifestyle and conduct” as unbearable and shameful,not just for her, but for the entire church community. After 14 years of silence, she says she was pushed to speak out by what she calls Okafor’s “lies and half-truths.”
But the real shockers came when Bessem accused Okafor of hiding a previous marriage, claiming she found evidence he had been married before,a fact he allegedly denied when they wed. She says this revelation left her feeling betrayed and exploited, especially given her young age at the time.
The allegations didn’t stop there. Bessem went on to accuse Okafor of years of abuse and assault, stating she has medical reports to back up her claims. She described a harrowing escape from their home after a violent incident, saying she had to flee through a back gate to save herself.
Adding fuel to the fire, Bessem accused Okafor of serial infidelity, alleging he impregnated multiple women,including church members,while they were still married. She claims that after she left, one of these women moved in and took over care of the children. These explosive claims have cast a dark shadow over the pastor’s reputation and raised serious questions about his personal life.
Bessem’s tell-all has sent shockwaves through Nigeria’s religious community, with social media users and commentators demanding investigations and accountability. The public is now fiercely divided, with supporters and skeptics on both sides trading barbs online. For now, all eyes are on Pastor Chris Okafor, as the nation waits to see how he and his camp will respond to these sensational allegations.
