Nigerian gospel singer, Paul Nwokocha has finally addressed the swirling rumours about his marital woes, delivering a no-holds-barred statement in a trending video on his official YouTube channel.
In September 2023, the singer, who is outspoken about his private life, especially marriage, shared why his first marriage, which lasted two decades, crashed.
Nwokocha declared that he has no regrets about ending his second marriage, citing his wife’s alleged “abominable acts” as the reason behind his decision.
“If I marry today and find out that the wife I married is doing an abominable thing before God and before man, I will send you out of my house,” he asserted in the video, which was posted on Sunday.
He went on to make shocking revelations about his estranged wife’s alleged actions, claiming she had been sending nude photos and videos to other men.
The gospel artist, who began his career 40 years ago and has 66 albums to his credit, challenged critics who questioned his decision to separate from her, asking how they would react if faced with a similar betrayal.
“I married a wife, not a whore. So, I owe nobody an apology for this,” he stated emphatically.
Netizens on social media are divided over his public outburst and personal revelations, while some support his firm stance on morality, others question the wisdom of airing such private matters in public.
Nwokocha’s latest marital crisis follows a pattern of controversial separations.
According to ABNTV on Monday, he has now ended his second marriage after just two years, with the bride’s family formally returning the bride price—an act that traditionally signals the dissolution of a union.
