Breaking: Apostle Chibuzor Halts Marriage Arrangement Amid Public Outcry

He announced the decision on Thursday via his social media page, stating that over 1,000 men had applied to participate in the arrangement. He said the development made it necessary to pause the process pending further instructions.

“Chiemeka Chibuzor’s wedding is hereby suspended,” the cleric wrote.

“More than a thousand applications. No more wedding, pending further directive from me, HRM King, Apostle Chibuzor Gift Chinyere.”

The cleric had earlier in the week publicly introduced the marriage plan, expressing willingness to support any eligible man interested in marrying her. He outlined conditions for applicants, including being young and mentally and physically sound.

He also promised several incentives to the selected suitor, such as lifetime financial support, accommodation, and a jointly owned house for the couple. He further stated that church representatives would occasionally visit to ensure the woman’s wellbeing.

The development follows a similar arrangement recently conducted by the ministry involving a non-verbal autistic man known as Aboy, who was married to an older woman in a church-organised ceremony on March 29.
