Gospel singer Paul Nwokocha breaks silence on marital crisis, addressing the swirling rumors in a video posted on his official YouTube channel.
In the video, which went viral on Sunday, Nwokocha made it clear that he has no regrets about ending his marriage, citing his wife’s alleged “abominable acts” as the reason for their separation.
“If I marry today and find out that the wife I married is doing an abominable thing before God and before man, I will send you out of my house,” he declared.
The singer went on to make shocking allegations, claiming that his estranged wife had been sending nude photos and videos to other men. Defending his decision to part ways, he stated, “I married a wife, not a whore. So, I owe nobody an apology for this.”
His remarks have sparked intense debate on social media, with many divided over his decision to publicly air his marital issues. While some have praised his strong stance on morality, others argue that such private matters should not be made public.
Meanwhile, reports indicate that this is not Nwokocha’s first marital crisis. According to ABNTV, he has now ended his second marriage after just two years, with the bride’s family formally returning the bride price a traditional sign of dissolution.

Nwokocha married his second wife, Goodness Nwokocha, in September 2023, just a month after separating from his first wife, Alice Nwokocha. His first marriage reportedly ended due to “maltreatment,” including allegations that Alice refused to serve him food.
A family source revealed that Goodness had a difficult experience in her marriage, alleging that she was treated more like a housemaid than a wife. She had moved from Lagos to be with Nwokocha at the insistence of his uncles, without prior romantic ties or proper background checks.
By May 2024, tensions had escalated, and with the return of the bride price, their marriage was officially over.
