A Nigerian pastor and founder of Omega Power Ministries, Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere, has officiated the marriage of a young autistic man, known as Aboy Chibuzor, to an older single woman.
The wedding, held on Sunday, March 29, at the church, followed public backlash over a viral video in which the cleric sought a wife for the man.
Aboy is non-verbal and requires assistance with daily activities.
According to the pastor, the groom was abandoned as a child at the church gate and has since been raised under his care.
He said the man, whose family background is unknown, requires full-time care, including feeding, bathing, and other daily assistance.
Chinyere announced financial support for Aboy and his wife, including ₦10 million, a house, and an overseas vacation.
He said the arrangement was intended to provide companionship and support for the young man.
The initial proposal sparked widespread criticism, with many describing it as inappropriate and demeaning to women.
The cleric later apologised, saying he “can never degrade any woman.”
In an update on Sunday, Chinyere shared photos of the wedding on Facebook, expressing optimism about the union.
“Aboy CHIBUZOR finally marries today 29 March 2026.
“A single woman of God. 10 million Naira wedding gift. Free house. Overseas vacation. And 20 million Naira after 10 years if Aboy still alive. And many more gift loading….
“A member of OPM church also donated 1 million Naira and another donated 200k.
“And miracle has already started as Aboy is now feeding himself without someone feeding him.
“And I believe before 6 months GOD will heal and he will begin to speak. THERE IS NOTHING GOD CAN NOT DO.”
