Bessem Agnes Okafor, the ex-wife of Pastor Chris Okafor, has broken her silence on why she divorced him.
The development came hours after Chris Okafor, the founder of the Grace Nation Bible Ministry, accused his ex-wife of committing adultery.
Reacting to the allegation, Bessem during a Livestream with Aunty Adunni on YouTube, disclosed that she left the Lagos-based pastor 14 years ago after he had many children with his church members’ wives.
While accusing Okafor of sleeping with deacons’ wives and choir members, Bessem advised the church members to conduct DNA tests on their children to prove her wrong.
“My name is Bessem Agnes Okafor and I was married to Chris Okafor when I was 18 years old, and the people that conducted the marriage are still very much alive. The marriage produced three girls and a boy. This man took me in my prime as a wife and not as a side chic. We wedded traditionally then we had a wedding. He didn’t leave me, I left him because of the shame and the disgrace he brought to the body of Christ for so many years.
“I married him when he had nothing. But when the money came he brought out his real colour. He was sleeping with everybody in the church, choir mistress here and there, abusing and assaulting me, forgetting that I was the wife of his youth. I have been quiet for 14 years because of my respect for my children but when I couldn’t take it no more was when this idiot so called pastor, good for nothing human stood on the altar to lie that he met a lady that got pregnant the first time and the same lady came with the second pregnancy again. Why are you such a liar, a manipulator, a paedophile, a rapist? Even his own family members, he sleeps with them.
“The house help that I brought before I left my children, you were sleeping with her. She called me and said ‘aunty I cannot stand it no more, I have to leave the job and go back to Benue State’. Okafor, you are not coming with the truth. During our marriage, Okafor was sleeping with Anita Chioma one of the deaconess in his church for years. Immediately I left the house she moved in,” she said.
He made the public apology after Doris Ogala rejected his settlement deal.
