My Husband Prefers Sex With Married Church Members – Pastor’s Wife Tells Court

CYRIACUS IZUEKWE

A clergyman, Pastor Paul Ekwe, may not have bargained for what happened when he filed a suit before the Igando Customary Court in Lagos seeking to divorce his 49-year old wife, Mrs. Chinwe Ekwe, in order to end their 28-year old marriage.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that Mrs. Chinwe Ekwe, who is also an Evangelist, narrated before an Igando Customary Court on Monday how her husband enjoys sleeping with single and married Church members.

 Pastor Paul Ekwe had accused her wife, Chinwe, of planning to kill him and asked the Court to dissolve the marriage so that he will move on with his life.
But in response, Mrs. Chinwe said that her husband was molesting women both single and married ones in their Church.

“I care for him both physically and spiritually but he still chose to be flirting around with different women. He even brought a married woman home as wife and chased me out of our matrimonial home,’’ she said.

Chinwe said that her husband was defaming her character by telling people that she was planning to kill him.
“What do I stand to gain if I kill the father of my seven children? He is lying against me just because he wants to get married to another woman, which he had done.
My husband is uncaring; I shoulder all his responsibilities but he spends money and buys foodstuffs for his concubines,’’ Chinwe told the Court.

The mother of seven daughters said that her husband got the Police to arrest her, alleging that she destroyed his Church and stole his five million Naira.
She begged the Court not to grant her husband’s wish for the dissolution of their marriage, pointing out that she still loved him in spite of his adulterous acts.

Pastor Paul Ekwe had approached the Court to terminate their 28-year-old marriage, accusing the wife of planning to kill him.
“My wife is planning to kill me so that she can remarry,” he said.

The petitioner described his wife as stubborn and quarrelsome.
“Our marriage is full of fights and quarrels. Chinwe makes my home uncomfortable for me and my life unbearable.”
“She refused to obey my orders but does things her own way,” he said.

He accused her of turning all their children against him, alleging that she gave one out in marriage without his knowledge.
He pleaded with the Court to terminate their marriage as the love he once had for his wife had vanished.

The Court President, Mr. Adeniyi Koledoye, adjourned the case until 19th January, 2021, for judgment.
