A Shepherd in charge of a Celestial Church’s parish in
Ibadan accompanied his mistress, Omolara Ojeyemi yesterday to a Customary Court
sitting in Mapo area of Ibadan, the Oyo state to witness the dissolution of her
marriage to her legal husband.
The priest, Prophet David Adebayo, amid tears, told the
court that he was responsible for the pregnancy his mistress was carrying. He,
however, pleaded for forgiveness for impregnating Omolara , who is married to
one Abiodun Ojeyemi, a staff of Nigeria Breweries Plc.
Adebayo who resides in the Alakuko area of Alagbado, Lagos
State, said that Omolara had been his mistress for the past 12 years, despite
living with her husband in Ibadan with her husband in the last seven years.
He said: “My Lord, anytime Omolara left her husband in
Ibadan, she used to come to meet me in Lagos where we usually have fun.
Sometimes, she comes after her closing hours in her office and returned to
Ibadan the following morning.
“Omolara only told me that she and her husband were no more
in good terms even though she already had two children for him. I swear to the
holy bible, I didn’t intend to destroy her relationship with her husband, she
is just my girlfriend.
“The pregnancy she is carrying belongs to me. I was the one
who deflowered her during my National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) days. I
followed her into the court to ensure that her union with Abiodun is dissolved
today not that I am daring the court’s power.”
Adebayo however, apologized to the court for causing so many
disharmonies to Abiodun, Omolara’s husband and for having unlawful sexual
intercourse with a housewife.
The president of the court, High Chief Ademola Odunade
subsequently dissolved the seven year-old marriage between Omolara and her
husband (Abiodun), but ruled that Abiodun should take custody of the two
children their seven- year-old marriage had produced.
In his remarks before the ruling, Odunade lamented that the
society was fast undergoing an unprecedented decay in morality especially how
adultery was ruining marriages. He described as unprecedented how a concubine
could be so bold to accompany his mistress to a law court despite knowing that
the act is an illegality.
“It is so tragic that a man can deliberately impregnate a
housewife with children. It has never happened in the history of this court
that a concubine will accompany his mistress to the court with the intention of
daring us, saying nothing will happen.
“In the interest of peaceful living, the union between
Omolara and Abiodun has ceased to be henceforth. Abiodun shall take custody of
the two children produced by the union.’’
Narrating ordeal to the court, Abiodun, a staff of Nigeria
Breweries Plc said his wife (Omolara), was an unrepentant fornicator despite
his genuine love for her.
“My Lord, ever since I got married to Omolara seven years
ago, little did I know that she had been occupied with all sorts of escapades
in the name of going to church vigil. What I know is that she usually told me
she was going for church vigil and I never had any reason to suspect her
because I trusted her.
“However, since June this year, Omolara started starving me
of sex. Before I eventually knew the truth, Omolara had told me that her
concubine was her uncle and I was relating with him well as an in-law.
“One day, I got home and discovered that she had packed all
the property away including mine. In fact, I have never failed to perform my
responsibility as a husband to her and as a father to our children.
“It will be wrong for Omolara to hide under any stupid
disguise to be neck deep in adultery. Omolara’s concubine is a priest at a
Celestial Church, Emmanuel Parish, Elewiodo-Ojo, Ibadan,” Abiodun said.
