Speaking with Premium Times through her

court settlement. Find the full report after the

Premium Times had contacted Mrs. Oyakhilome
through her lawyers, Attwaters Jameson Hill
Solicitors, after news broke that she had filed for
divorce, to enquire whether any out-of-court
settlement option was being explored.
In their response Tuesday, her attorneys said
there was no chance the estranged couple would
ever live as husband and wife again. “It is with
great sadness that our client, Pastor Anita
Oyakhilome, has come to the conclusion that her
marriage to Pastor Christian Oyakhilome has
irretrievably broken down and regrettably there is
no hope of any reconciliation,” said Stephen
Goddard, Business Development Manager of
Attwaters Jameson Hill Solicitors.
From early this year, there had been speculation
that the marriage between Mr Oyakhilome, the
founder of Believers Love World (aka Christ
Embassy), and his wife, who is also Vice-
president of the ministry, was collapsing. Some
church members even set up a Facebook page,
“Where is Rev Anita Oyakhilome”, in May
dedicated to addressing the issue.
The church initially denied reports that the couple
were estranged and possibly divorcing. But
TheCable news website reported on August 29
that Mrs. Oyakhilome had filed for divorce since
April 9, accusing Pastor Chris, as he is fondly
called by his followers, of “adultery” and
“unreasonable behaviour”.
Pastor Chris has denied the allegations. He
however warned church members against
analysing his problem with his wife adding that
the church is not a political party. He said his
wife is a bitter and angry woman who is being
influenced by bad friends who are out to seek his
downfall.
The pastor added that most pastors’ wives
usually think they are equal to their husbands
after they get married. He said his wife wanted to
overpower the authorities of the elders she met
when she joined the Christian ministry.
As the divorce battle rages, Mrs. Oyakhilome’s
profile has been pulled down from the church’s
website.
