Was Ciara Obofour's side chick before?

Amid the back and forth about Obofour's marriage, some social media users berated his embattled wife for 'fighting off' other women when she had allegedly been a side chick many years before.

These accusers alleged that she had an affair with the preacher when he was married to his first spouse, with Obofour denying the assertions and not responding to claims that he was previously married.

Obofour's friend shares details of his wife

However, it turns out that the talk about Obofour having been married before could be true, according to a video that has resurfaced.

In the video, first released in 2019, a former close friend, Prophet Benjamin Opoku Agyemang, shared details about the supposed first marriage.

Opoku Agyemang, who is popularly known as Prophet Igwe, proved his previous friendship with Obofour with old photos of them together.

Recounting their time as friends, Prophet Igwe claimed Obofour initially married a lady named Rita, with whom he had two children.

However, after the death of his two children with Rita, he came into prominence and even consulted Bishop Daniel Obinim for guidelines.

"At that time, Reverend Obofour had married his first wife. I was part of the ceremony, which was held at Tafo with fewer than 10 people. We started at 6:00 am and ended at 8:00 am. He had two children with Rita, and all of them died, but I won't say what I know about their deaths now," he said.
