Wife of popular pastor Chris Oyakhilome, Reverend Anita Oyakhilome, is looking to finalize a divorce from the husband.
According to news site, The Cable, Anita is filing for divorce on the grounds of “unreasonable behaviour” and “adultery”.
The site reports:
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.
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.
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.
