Pastor Kelvin Okafor, the General Overseer of Jesus Divine Solution and Deliverance Outreach on Arab Road, Abuja, has been accused of abandoning his wife of 17 years, Mrs. Chidiebere Okafor, and their four children to secretly marry Mrs. Chinenye Jessica Nwaneri, a divorcee and the church’s women’s leader.

The secret traditional marriage took place at a hotel in Owerri, Imo State, on Saturday, June 22, in an effort to avoid media attention, as Pastor Okafor is still legally married to his first wife. Guests were instructed not to take photos or videos during the ceremony, but an undercover reporter managed to witness the event.

Sources reveal that Mrs. Chidiebere Okafor is unaware of her husband's actions, and Pastor Okafor's new wife, who is an ordained elder of the church, is fully aware that he remains legally married to Mrs. Chidiebere.

The pastor's actions have been widely condemned, with many criticizing him for betraying his wife and acting contrary to the teachings of the holy scripture.
