Fresh controversy has erupted around the widely publicised marriage arranged by Chibuzor Chinyere for his autistic son, Aboy, after the bride made a startling reversal of her earlier claims.
In a video interview conducted by the cleric shortly after the wedding, the woman openly admitted that she is not a virgin, but a widow and mother of three, revealing that the father of her children is late.
Her disclosure came just hours after reports circulated that she had presented herself as “undefiled” and claimed to have rejected several suitors in the past—an assertion that had influenced public perception of the controversial union.
The development has further intensified debate surrounding the marriage, which had already gone viral following the pastor’s public offer of financial incentives—including cash, accommodation, and ongoing support—to any woman willing to marry his son due to his condition.
While the cleric’s gesture was initially seen by some as an act of compassion, the evolving narrative has sparked mixed reactions, with critics questioning the transparency of the process and the circumstances leading to the union.
Observers say the latest revelation underscores deeper concerns about societal pressures, vulnerability, and the ethics of highly publicised personal arrangements involving individuals with special needs.
As reactions continue to pour in, the incident remains a trending topic, further fuelling conversations about accountability, consent, and the complexities surrounding unconventional marriages in Nigeria.
