Following series of reactions over the drama that ensued over the weekend at the Overcomers Church World Outreach in Aguda,Surulere,Lagos where a certain Solomon Akiyesi had sought to wed a certain MS Uloma Agwu,which was eventually disrupted by his legally married wife, Mrs. Lilian Akiyesi, the Overcomers church's has released a statement which was signed by Chika Moses, a media representative of the said church condemning the manner in which Lilian handled the issue.
