Was Ciara Obofour's side chick before?

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

These accusers alleged that Ciara had been the side chick to Obofour when he was married to his first.

Obofour denied the assertions that Ciara was once his side chick, but did not respond to the part that he had been married before.

Opoku Agyemang, who is popularly known as Prophet Igwe, proved his 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.

But after the death of his two kids with Rita, he came into prominence and even consulted 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.
