The adultery scandal that has rocked the family of Nigeria’s popular
clergyman, Pastor Chris Oyakholome, has resulted in a divorce suit
filed
by his wife, Pastor Anita.
Pastor Oyakhilome, the founder and
president of the Believers Love World, better known as Christ Embassy,
and the management of his church had earlier discredited speculations
that he was having serious marital challenges with his wife, who is the
church’s vice president.
His church is one of the biggest in
Nigeria with branches scattered across the country. He is considered one
of the richest pastors in Nigeria and co-authors the church’s Rhapsody
of Realities with Anita.
But TheCable, an online news medium based
in Lagos, western Nigeria, is reporting that Anita has filed for
divorce accusing her husband of ‘unreasonable behaviour and adultery’ as
well as other reasons.
“The divorce case, with Suit No
FD14D01650, was filed on April 9, 2014 at Divorce Section A, Central
Family Court, First Avenue House, High Holborn, London, UK, on Anita’s
behalf by Attwaters Jameson Hill Solicitors, a full-service law firm
with expertise in commercial law and a strong consumer focus in family,
wills and estate, personal injury law and medical negligence,” the
medium said adding that
Their marriage produced two female children, Sharon and Charlyn.
As news of a possible divorce spread, the church had reportedly told its members not to support those spreading the ‘rumour’.
The church also believed that Anita was angry because she thinks she
has been relegated by her husband, who has maintained the allegations
against him are untrue.
It was learnt that embattled Chris Oyakhilome was served with the court papers during a recent visit to the UK.
When
the crisis began, according TheCable, the church starved Anita, who
oversees the London branch of the church and other branches in Europe of
funds.
But she is reportedly not perturbed even though she had
complained about of lack of funds. She reportedly recently announced she
was sowing a ‘seed’ with of $1 million at a fund raising event.
