According to Confidence's  father, Mr. Joseph Ukandu, Bishop Enofe, prior to his illicit marriage to the girl, confessed that he started having sex with the child when she was  13-years-old.

A,source who requested anonimity said "The girl has already moved in to start living with Bishop Enofe as his wife since August 28th, 2020, after he had performed all traditional wedding rites to officially convert the child to his wife. Also, preparation has hit top gear for them to tie the nuptial knot at the altar for their church wedding on Saturday 12th September but other sources added  that  the church wedding held on August 27th 2020"
