​Bessem Okafor, the estranged wife of Grace Nation International’s senior pastor, Chris Okafor, has broken her 14-year silence with serious claims against the cleric. On December 29, 2025, she released a video detailing alleged domestic violence, infidelity, and deceit within their marriage.

​The mother of four stated she decided to speak out after watching her former husband publicly discuss their failed union. Notably, this comes just days after Pastor Chris Okafor addressed divorce and custody claims in a move that sparked widespread debate online.

​Allegations of infidelity and betrayal

​Bessem claimed that the pastor engaged in extramarital affairs with multiple women, including deaconesses in his church. She specifically named two women, Anita Chioma and Ezinne Nnanna, whom she alleged had children for the cleric while he was still married to her.

​According to Bessem, Anita Chioma lived in their home and took over the care of her children after the pastor forced her out. She described the pain of seeing a church leader act in such a way, stating that these actions brought shame to the Christian community.

​She also addressed the recent online drama involving actress Doris Ogala. While Doris Ogala accepted Pastor Chris Okafor’s apology, Bessem dismissed his public remorse as a manipulative tactic to gain sympathy rather than a genuine act of repentance.

​Claims of abuse and abandonment

​The former wife firmly denied that she abandoned her home, insisting instead that she fled to save her life. She recounted incidents of physical assault and claimed to possess medical reports from General Hospital and King’s Smith Hospital to prove the abuse she suffered.

​Bessem expressed anger that the pastor portrayed her as a “mad woman” to the public to cover his tracks. She challenged him to tell the world the truth about their separation and why he kept her children away from her for over a decade.
