My Husband Lies, Harasses My Church Members for S*x - Ibadan Prophetess Cries Out

An Idi-Ogungun Customary Court, Agodi, Ibadan, on Wednesday dissolved the 15-year marriage between Nike Adenekan, a prophetess; and her pastor husband, Adekunle Adenekan, over an attempt to rape a church member, NAN reports.

Nike filed a divorce suit before the court, seeking dissolution of her marriage to Adenekan, on the grounds of telling lies, immoral acts and threat to life.

In his judgment, the court's president, Mr. Mukaila Balogun, dissolved the marriage and gave custody of the only child of the union to the petitioner.

Balogun restrained the defendant from further attending the petitioner's church.

He also ordered him to pay N3,500 as monthly allowance for the maintenance of the child.

The petitioner alleged that her husband tried to rape an 18-year-old church member who lives with her.

Nike narrated how the defendant, on three occasions, tried to rape one of her church members who resides with her.

"My lord, there was a night my husband left me on the bed and climbed on the girl who was sleeping on the floor.

"When I caught him, my husband said he wanted to kill a mosquito on the girl's body and pleaded with me to forgive him.

"The girl also told me that my husband, on two occasions, attempted to rape her at night when I went to church for special prayers.

"Also, a particular woman in my church told me that daddy (Adenekan) wanted her to be his concubine and threatened to stop coming to my church if daddy continues disturbing her.

"He is in the habit of lying; I never trusted him and cannot fold my hands watching him to destroy my church," Nike told the court.

She pleaded with the court to grant her request for a divorce, saying she had made up her mind to end the union and that no one could convince her to change her mind.

Responding, Adenekan, who claimed to be a pastor, however, pleaded with the court not to grant Nike's request, saying she had suffered with him and still wants her as his wife.

Adenekan, who was silent on the allegation of attempted rape, prayed the court to assist him intervene in the matter.
