Popular gospel singer Paul Nwokocha has finally addressed the swirling rumours about his marital woes, delivering a no-holds-barred statement in a trending video on his official YouTube channel.

Nwokocha declared that he has no regrets about ending his marriage, citing his wife’s alleged “abominable acts” as the reason behind his decision.

“If I marry today and find out that the wife I married is doing an abominable thing before God and before man, I will send you out of my house,” he asserted in the video, which was posted on Sunday.

The gospel artist went on to make shocking revelations about his estranged wife’s alleged actions, claiming she had been sending nude photos and videos to other men.

He challenged critics who questioned his decision to separate from her, asking how they would react if faced with a similar betrayal.

“I married a wife, not a whore. So, I owe nobody an apology for this,” he stated emphatically.

The video has since ignited a firestorm on social media, with netizens divided over his public outburst and personal revelations.

While some support his firm stance on morality, others question the wisdom of airing such private matters in public.

Meanwhile, Nwokocha’s latest marital crisis follows a pattern of controversial separations.

According to ABNTV on Monday, he has now ended his second marriage after just two years, with the bride’s family formally returning the bride price—an act that traditionally signals the dissolution of a union.

Nwokocha’s marital crises
Nwokocha married his second wife, Goodness Nwokocha, in September 2023, barely a month after parting ways with his first wife, Alice Nwokocha.

His separation from Alice was reportedly due to what he described as “maltreatment,” including her alleged refusal to serve him food.

The singer has previously expressed his belief that marriage should be “for better, for better”—a deviation from the conventional “for better, for worse” vow.

A family source, speaking on the condition of anonymity, disclosed that Goodness’s marriage to Nwokocha was fraught with difficulties from the start. She allegedly endured mistreatment in her new home, where she was treated more like a housemaid than a wife, reports ABNTV earlier on Saturday.

The source further revealed that Goodness had no prior romantic history with Nwokocha before their marriage. She had relocated from Lagos to be with him at the insistence of his uncles, without conducting any background checks.

By May 2024, tensions had escalated, and with the return of the bride price, their marriage was officially over.

Governor of Enugu State, Dr Peter Mbah has congratulated the famous comedian and entertainer, Nkem Owo, also known as Osuofia, describing him as one of Enugu’s precious gifts to the world.

Governor Mbah, in a message on his verified X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram accounts, @PNMbah celebrated the Nollywood icon, saying he has brought fun, laughter, and excitement to millions of homes across the world.

The governor wrote:

“This is a toast to one of Enugu’s precious gifts to the world, Nkem Owo, aka Osuofia.

“Nkem Owoh has no doubt distinguished himself as an icon of Nollywood, who has brought fun, laughter, and excitement to millions of homes across the world through his mastery of his art as a thespian and entertainer. Indeed, we owe the success that Nollywood has become to the sacrifice, resilience, commitment, and regenerative powers of Nkem and his like.

“Nkem, we celebrate you and thank you immensely for putting Enugu State and Nigeria on the global screens and pray God to keep you in good health for many more years.

“People, join me and Ndi Enugu in wishing inimitable Nkem Owo a happy 70th birthday”, he said.

Notorious Drug Kingpin Arrested After Wife’s Social Media Posts Reveal His Location
In a dramatic turn of events, U.S. authorities have apprehended Luis Manuel Picado Grijalba, a high-profile drug kingpin who had eluded law enforcement for years.

The arrest came after investigators tracked him down using clues from his wife’s social media posts, which inadvertently revealed his location during a lavish vacation.

Grijalba, a figure notorious for his involvement in international drug trafficking, had managed to stay under the radar despite being one of the most wanted criminals. Known for his cunning operations and ability to evade capture, he built an empire that spanned multiple countries, orchestrating the distribution of narcotics worth millions of dollars.

However, the secrecy that once shielded him unraveled through the digital footprint left by his wife. Enthralled by their opulent lifestyle, she frequently shared photos and videos of their travels on platforms like Instagram and Facebook. Her posts showcased exotic destinations, luxury resorts, and private jet flights, often tagged with real-time locations.

According to officials, it was a particular series of posts from an exclusive resort that provided the final piece of the puzzle. Analysts monitoring social media activity linked the images to Grijalba’s suspected whereabouts, prompting a swift response from U.S. forces. A covert operation was launched, and Grijalba was arrested without resistance.

“This arrest highlights the critical role that modern technology and social media can play in law enforcement operations,” a spokesperson for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) said. “While Grijalba’s criminal network was sophisticated, it was the inadvertent actions of someone close to him that ultimately led to his capture.”

Grijalba’s arrest marks a significant victory in the fight against international drug trafficking. Authorities believe his empire was responsible for smuggling large quantities of cocaine and other narcotics into the United States and Europe, fueling widespread addiction and violence.

The drug lord is now in custody, awaiting extradition to face charges in the United States. If convicted, he could spend the rest of his life in prison.

Meanwhile, experts have weighed in on the unexpected role social media played in the case. “Criminals often overlook the risks posed by digital exposure,” said cybersecurity analyst Maria Ortega. “This incident underscores how even the smallest online detail can unravel even the most sophisticated operations.”

As for Grijalba’s wife, sources suggest she had no idea her posts would lead to such consequences. While she is not currently facing charges, investigators are looking into whether she had any knowledge of her husband’s illegal activities.

The fall of Luis Manuel Picado Grijalba serves as a cautionary tale of how even the most untouchable figures can be brought down by the simplest of mistakes—this time, in the form of glamorous vacation photos.
