A Pastor, Joshua Ibeneme, on Wednesday approached an Igando Customary Court in Lagos to end his 21-year-old marriage to his wife, Uzoamaka for allegedly having sex with two members of his church.
Ibeneme told the court that his wife was messing around with his male members.
“My wife had sexual affair with two of my church members, a deacon and a bishop. Both were boasting telling my other members that they slept with my wife because she enticed them.
“Whenever I return from a trip, my last born always tells me that men came to pick and drop my wife. Even God told me to divorce her or else she will destroy my ministry,” he claimed.
The petitioner said his wife denied him sex for five years.
“My wife starved me of sex for over five years. Whenever I want to sleep with her, she will be given one excuse or another. In fact, she had moved out of my room to a separate room.
“But she gives it to my members freely,” the pastor said.
The 53-year-old pastor said his wife was always mocking and embarrassing him in public telling people about his sexual performance.
He said Uzomaka always accused him of having affairs with any female member who came to the house for counselling.
“She accused them of dating me and also goes to their houses to fight them. Her behavior and attitude have chased members away from my church,” he said.
He said Uzomaka instigated their children against him, adding that the kids refused to run errands for him except when their mother permitted them to do so.
He begged the court to divorce the loveless union, claiming he was no longer in love with his wife.
However, the respondent, Uzomaka, denied having sex with their church members but accused her husband of infidelity.
“It is women that cause our frequent fighting. They are the problem in our home and my husband’s lust for them is very high.
“I never slept with the two men who claimed that they slept with me, they just wanted to tarnish my image, my husband is dating the wife of the deacon,” she said. - The Nation
