A pastor, Onyekwere Osondu, 48, has
pleaded with an Ojo Customary Court, Lagos,
to dissolve his 10-year-old marriage, saying
his wife eloped to Liberia with another man.
Osondu told the court that the wife, Ogechi,
travelled to Liberia over a year ago under
the guise that she went to stay with her
brother,but he had cause to believe that she
had found comfort in the arms of another
man.
“Prolonging this matter is not pleasing to
me; although the court made several efforts
to get my wife or someone from her family
to appear before the court, there was no
positive response”, the petitioner said.
“I am a man of God and I must maintain my
moral status; her absence has made me to
live like a bachelor for over one year and
that is becoming more unbearable.
“Since my wife abandoned me and went to
Liberia, I need to move on with my life. I
cannot remain single forever; I need to
remarry”.
He told the court that his wife left home in
2014 for Liberia without his knowledge.
“It was in trying to search for her that her
mother invited me to come to the village and
that was when I learnt that she had joined
her brother living in Liberia”, Osondo
stated..
“Her family members summoned me and
claimed that I maltreated her because she
had no child for me, but this is not true”.
The petitioner explained that Ogechi later
sent him a text message, which read, “God
has delivered me from you and I have
changed my name to my maiden name”.
“When I informed her that I had filed a
divorce suit, she responded by saying,
‘thank God”..
“I am a man of God and I have carried out all
traditional settlement required,” he said.
He alleged that his wife must have found
comfort in the arms of another man in
Liberia and prayed the court for a divorce.
“She is, obviously, fed up with the union and
her refusal to return should not prolong the
judgement of this court,” Osondu said.
Court President, Chief Joseph Ogunmola,
however, ordered the court bailiff to contact
any member of Ogechi’s family to witness
the judgment, since all reconciliation
measures had been exhausted SOURCE: www.vanguardngr.com/2015/07/pastors-agony-my-wife-eloped-to-liberia-with-another-man/

dis is serious but really its not a surprise, e don tey wey i don dey hear say pastor snach people,members wife. So make e no vex

There's no proof that she eloped with another man.There were obviously issues between the couple which was worsened by childlessness.The pastor likely didn't treat her well.

When I informed her that I had filed a divorce suit, she responded by saying, ‘thank God”..

This message has more deeper meaning than the eyes could see

i don hear

Liberia ke!! Of all places na Liberia she carry body go?



She should better not come back.

Pastor should pray and fast. A church member would have been asked to do the same.
