What was meant to be a joyful celebration in Nnewi South Local Government Area has taken a scandalous turn as a man identified as Nwandu Chibuike has publicly cancelled his traditional marriage to Miss Chidimma Okoli over allegations of infidelity involving a Reverend Father.
Chibuike, a native of Umuomam Village in Osumenyi Town, took to his verified Facebook account on Saturday to announce the cancellation of the highly anticipated wedding, originally scheduled for August 2, 2025. Attached to the post was a copy of the wedding invitation and damning accusations against his bride-to-be.
“It should have taken place on the 2nd of August 2025, but it is now cancelled,” Chibuike wrote. “I discovered she was still in an active sexual relationship with her Rev. Father, even after our introduction. I have her confession on tape.”
The revelation has sent ripples across social media and the local community.
Screenshots of WhatsApp conversations allegedly between Chidimma and the cleric, Reverend Father Peter Okonkwo, were posted by Chibuike, showing what he claims is her admission to the illicit affair.
“I trusted her, we had done introduction, families had met,” Chibuike lamented in a follow-up comment. “How do you explain that a priest who should be offering prayers for us is instead desecrating the altar and my home?”
As at the time of filing this report, Chidimma Okoli has not issued any public statement, and efforts to reach Rev. Fr. Peter Okonkwo have been unsuccessful.
More details are expected to emerge as the story unfolds.
