My Husband Is S*xually Molesting Women In Our Church – Pastor’s Wife Tell Court

MICHAEL AKINOLA 

The 28-year old marriage between Pastor Paul Ekwe and his wife, Evangelist Chinwe Ekwe, has collapsed after the wife revealed that her husband was sexually molesting both single and married women in their church in Lagos State. 

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the revelation was made by the 49-year old evangelist, Chinwe Ekwe, before the Igando Customary Court in Lagos, stating that her husband, Pastor Paul, is a womanizer and he sleeps with church members.

The embattled Chinwe was responding to a divorce suit filed by her husband, Pastor Paul Ekwe, accusing her of planning to kill him. But Chinwe stated that her husband was molesting both single and married women. 

“I care for him both physical and spiritual, but he still chose to be flirting around with different women. He even brought a married woman home as a 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. She wondered what she stood to gain if she killed the father of their seven children. 

“He is lying against me just because he wanted to marry another woman, which he had done. My husband is uncaring;  I shouldered all his responsibilities but he spends money and buys foodstuffs for his concubines,’’ Chinwe told the Court.

The mother of seven daughters said her husband got the Police to arrest her, alleging that she destroyed his church and stole 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 despite his adulterous acts.

However, the husband, Pastor Ekwe, insisted that the Court should terminate the 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 that the love he once had for his wife had vanished.

The  President of the Court, Mr. Adeniyi Koledoye, adjourned the matter for judgment.
