Reverend Obofour grabbed headlines on social media after the prominent Ghanaian businesswoman, Maame Sika, flaunted him as her ‘hubby’ on social media.
The man of God celebrated his birthday on February 1, 2026, and received well-wishes from friends and loved ones.
Maame Sika shared a controversial wish for the man of God, posting a photo of them together on her official Snapchat page.
In a subsequent post, Maame Sika caused a stir, referring to herself as 'Sofo Maame', translated as 'pastor's wife' in English.
Rumours circulate about Reverend Obofour’s marriage
Following the post shared by Maame Sika, a public feud broke out between her and the pastor’s current wife, Bofowaa Queen Ciara.
In a fiery rant, Obofour's wife insisted that she was the preacher’s only spouse and that no one could supplant her from that position.
"I am still living in my white mansion. I am in Ghana. I have not divorced my husband. He is my husband. I have not left him. I am still married to him. I have been with him for 18 good years, and we have been married for 16 years," she said.
Amid the controversy, a video emerged with allegations about Reverend Obofour’s first marriage, which reportedly ended mysteriously.
In the video, an alleged former close friend of the man of God claimed that the pastor was married to a woman named Rita, with whom he had two children.
He said Reverend Obofour left the marriage after their two children died, before he subsequently got married to Bofowaa.
