Reactions continue to trail the wedding of Nigerian pastor Chris Okafor, following a public controversy with actress Doris Ogala. Ogala had accused the clergyman of breaking a promise to marry her after eight years of a relationship and engaging in an intimate relationship with her.

Many social media users condemned Okafor for his actions, while others criticised Ogala for allowing herself to be involved. After a reported suicide attempt, Ogala vowed to disrupt the wedding and demanded compensation. Photos from Okafor’s ceremony, reportedly held on Tuesday, have sparked further online debate, with many faulting the bride for proceeding despite the controversy.

Okafor previously divorced his ex-wife, Bessem Okafor, in 2014 amid allegations of domestic abuse. One social media user, evadoris420, commented: “So she went ahead to marry this man after all the red flags, make nobody come online tomorrow dey shout justice for this.”
