According to reports, the marriage of Christ Embassy Church
founder, Pastor Christian Oyakhilome, and his wife, Rev. Anita Odegwa Oyakhilome,
has finally dissolved. The wife is
seeking divorce on the grounds of “unreasonable behaviour” and “adultery”. She reportedly
outlined several allegations against the pastor. 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.
Efforts to reconcile the popular couple, whose church is one
of the biggest denominations in Nigeria and has branches all over world, have
failed. They have two teenage daughters, Sharon and Charlyn. Oyakhilome is the
president of Believers’ Love World Inc, the registered name of the Christian
ministry, while his wife is the vice-president.
The pastor, according to an elder of the church, has denied
allegations of adultery and believes his wife is being influenced by “bad
friends” who are intent on destroying their home. While Anita believes she has
been relegated in the scheme of things in the church, her husband has
reportedly accused her of trying to usurp power and authority above her seniors
in the ministry. It was revealed that the pastor had been making efforts to
avoid divorce in the hope that the wife would eventually have a change of mind.
However, TheCable can also report that the decree nissi was
served on the charismatic pastor in his hotel room during a recent visit to the
UK. Decree nissi, in legal terms, is like a yellow card in a football match
which is a precursor to a red card (“decree absolute”) if no new evidence is
provided to stall proceedings.
