Sharing the photos, she wrote; ”Apostle Udofia marries 18years old chorister as a second wife.

“As in how did this happen

“Second wife to a pastor with a wife already?

“How did we get here”

According to reports, the 63-year-old clergyman married Sister Blessing Jeremiah Esu in Ikot Akpang Ikpong, Abak Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom State.

The ceremony took place on October 18, 2021.
