Man Who Married His Sister Goes Through Spiritual Cleansing Involving 7 Virgins

Chiadikobi Ezeibekwe, a 25-year-old Maths teacher from Anambra state who gained infamy for marrying his sister and saying it was a directive from God has renounced the marriage and has had to undergo spiritual cleansing.

He married his 17-year-old biological sister, Chibuzor Ezeibekwe much to the disdain and shock of people.

When interviewed, Ezeibekwe said that the marriage was an abomination

“The marriage is dissolved; we are not talking about it again. We are not talking about that marriage again, let’s see what the future holds, even the Bible said we should not worry for tomorrow as tomorrow would take care of itself, so I am not bothering my heart about it.” he said.

The Agba community in Ekwulobia, Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State cancelled the controversial marriage between Chiadiakobi Ezeibekwe, and his 17-year-old sister, Chibuzor.

The family also had to undergo a cleansing which was overseen by a Priest of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Ekwulobia, Rev. Fr. Ignatius Onwuatuegwu.

The Priest said; “This issue does not concern only the family of Lewis, it concerns the entire Ekwulobia. We are in a world that has disintegrated. This cleansing is important for all of us and the entire country.

“We are here to make reparation for the sin that is already rampant in our society. I am particularly touched by this boy, Chiadi.

“When I came to Ekwulobia, I met him as a boy yearning for the things of God. He was the leader of the block rosary group but here we are today. When I heard the story, I was taken aback. Only God knows what happened.”

Ezeibekwe asked for forgiveness saying; “What we did was wrong and an abomination to our community. I feel pained in my heart. I did not do it because I was hungry for a woman or attracted to my sister.

“I apologise to everyone. I am very sorry for bringing all of you out here under the sun. Please forgive us.”

After the cleansing rites, seven girls said to be virgins, clad in white dresses, used seven palm frond branches to sweep the Ezeibekwe compound.
