Gospel singer Paul Nwokocha’s second marriage to Goodness Nwokocha has ended, with allegations of infidelity and mistreatment surfacing

Popular Nigerian gospel singer Paul Nwokocha has reportedly parted ways with his second wife, Mrs. Goodness Nwokocha, less than two years after their marriage.

Nwokocha, who tied the knot with Goodness in September 2023 following the separation from his first wife, Alice Nwokocha, is now embroiled in controversy over the failed union.

According to a family source who spoke to journalist Promise Uzoma Okoro, cracks in the marriage began in May 2024, with allegations that Goodness was subjected to ill-treatment by the singer.

The source revealed that Goodness had no prior relationship with Nwokocha before their marriage and relocated from Lagos to be with him at the insistence of his uncles.

“As of now, the bride price has been returned to the family of Paul Nwokocha, signaling the formal end of the union,” the source confirmed.

Reacting to the reports, Paul Nwokocha accused his estranged wife of infidelity, alleging that she was sending nude photos and videos to other men.

In a viral video, he defended his decision to end the marriage, stating that he would not tolerate such behaviour.

“I have heard so many people talk about my marital problem on social media, and I want to tell you something: If I marry today and I find out that the wife I married is doing abominable things before God and man, I will send her out of my house,” he declared.

The gospel singer dismissed critics who sympathised with Goodness, insisting that he would never condone unfaithfulness.

“I married a wife, not a whore. So, I owe nobody an apology for this. Stop calling me names,” he said.

The public fallout has sparked intense debate on social media, with fans divided over the accusations and the singer’s response.
