The woman who recently married Aboy Chibuzor, a non-verbal autistic young man adopted and raised by the founder of Omega Power Ministries (OPM), Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere, has clarified that she is a widow and a mother of three children.
In a video interview shared on Monday by the cleric, the bride addressed widespread misconceptions about her personal history following their wedding ceremony held on Sunday.
The clarification comes amid public debate and mixed reactions surrounding the union, with some social media users questioning the circumstances of the marriage and raising concerns about the intentions behind the arrangement.
Others also speculated about the bride’s sexual history, prompting further scrutiny online.
Responding to questions during the interview, the woman stated clearly that she is not a virgin.
“I am not a virgin, I am a mother of three; the father of my children is late,” she said, adding that she is originally from Edo State but grew up in Rivers State.
The wedding, which took place on Sunday, has continued to generate public discourse due to the circumstances surrounding Aboy Chibuzor, who is non-verbal and requires full-time assistance with daily activities such as feeding and personal care.

Prior to the ceremony, Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere had publicly announced efforts to find a wife for Aboy, alongside pledges that included ₦10 million, a house, and an overseas trip for the bride and groom.
The announcement sparked criticism from sections of the public, with some describing it as controversial and insensitive.
Following the backlash, the cleric issued an apology, stating that he had no intention of degrading any woman.
Despite the controversy, ApostleApostle Chinyere later shared images of the wedding on Facebook, describing the event as a moment of joy and spiritual significance.
He also claimed that Aboy had begun showing signs of improvement, including feeding himself, and expressed hope for further progress.
He wrote that the union included financial support and gifts from church members, while also attributing perceived improvements in Aboy’s condition to divine intervention.
The development continues to spark debate across social media platforms in Nigeria, particularly around issues of disability, consent, dignity, and religious intervention in personal relationships.
