Oh no! Pastor Chris Oyakhilome's wife files for a divorce in London, accuses hubby of committing Adultery (Read)

After months of speculation on the love gone sour marriage of

Christ Embassy's Pastor Chris Oyakhilome and wife, a new

report claims the latter has now filed for a divorce in a

London court.

O yakhilome is the president of Believers’ Love World Inc,

the registered name of the Christian ministry, while his wife

is the vice-president.

They have two teenage daughters, Sharon and Charlyn.

In an exclusive report published by Cable News, the wife is

seeking divorce on the grounds of “unreasonavvvble

behaviour” and “adultery”.

She allegedly outlined several allegations against the

pastor which cannot publish for legal 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.

According to the online portal, Pastor Chris had been

making efforts to avoid divorce in the hope that the wife

would eventually have a change of mind, however, 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.

Church insiders said Oyakhilome had been hoping for

rapprochement, but he was left with no option than to

receive the papers when the lawyers cornered him at his

hotel in London. The decree absolute, which will effectively

end the marriage, is expected to be issued soon while

terms of the divorce will be worked out by the lawyers on

both sides.

Anita recently wanted to go public with the details of her

allegations against the husband but reached an informal

agreement to sheathe her sword in the interest of the

church.

 Recall that some church members had sometime in May

10, 2014 launched facebook campaign, asking: “Where is

Rev. Anita Oyakhilome?”

They said Pastor Chris and Rev. Anita must unite “for the

sake of the gospel, the church and their two beautiful

daughters”. They quoted Malachi 2:16 in the Message

Bible: “I hate divorce, says the God of Israel.”

The facebook page, which has over 3,300 “likes”, was

opened with a stated mission: “This is a Call to Prayer for

all believers who understand God’s heart concerning

marriage and a Call to Action by Pst. Chris.

#DoWhatYouPreach”.

Officials of the church quickly moved to deny any rift

between the pastor couple. One official, Kenneth

Achumasara, told the media last June: “I can tell you

authoritatively that there is no issue between Pastor Chris

and his wife, Anita… If you go to the UK now you will see

her along with the kids. She is still with him and there is no

issue between them. I have been with him for 22 years and

the Pastor Chris I know cannot even utter such words as

reported. He will never address such a gathering. She will

soon be in Nigeria for a programme and I will definitely

invite you to have access to her.”

Oh well!
