Marriage between a prophetess and
her pastor husband has been dissolved at an Idi-Ogungun Customary Court, Agodi,
Ibadan.
The 15-year-old marriage between
Nike Adenekan, (the prophetess) and Adekunle Adenekan, was quashed over an
attempt to rape a church member by the husband.
The prophetess dragged her
husband to court seeking divorce on the grounds of telling lies, immoral acts
and threat to life.
The court’s president, Mr.
Mukaila Balogun, in her ruling, dissolved the marriage and gave custody of the
only child of the union to the woman.
The judge also restrained the
petitioner’s husband from further attending the church while ordered him to pay
N3,500 as monthly allowance for the maintenance of the child.
The Prophetess had earlier
alleged that her husband tried to rape an 18-year-old church member who lives
with her.
According to 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.”
She prayed with the court to
grant her request for a divorce.
Her husband, Adenekan, (a pastor)
pleaded with the court not to grant Nike’s request to dissolve the marriage,
saying she had suffered with him and still wants her as his wife.
