'I haven't divorced my husband' - Pastor Oritsejafor's wife breaks silence

Helen Oritsejafor, wife of former President, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor has rubbished reports that her husband has divorced her.

There have been reports that Pastor Oritsejafor and his wife Helen had patted ways over irreconcilable differences.

Mama Otisejafor took to her Facebook page on Tuesday to announce that she was not divorced and that she is still married to pastor Oritsejafor, founder, Word of Life Bible Church.

She said her attention had been drawn to the fake and malicious news making rounds on blogs, social media platforms and the newspapers against her character and that of her family.

“It’s totally unbelievable, reprehensible and unthinkable and it’s important that I make the facts clear. I am a wife, a mother and a woman of God, and I uphold the tenets of my Christian faith and marriage. My family and home is the most important part of my life.

“I therefore appeal to everyone to put our interest and that of our lovely kids, above the need to profit from this baseless endeavor. My Husband and I are not divorced, unless people get divorced on social media and I have never been unfaithful to my husband, whom I love very dearly.

“These are works of the devil and his agents to dent my character and good works. Over the years, I have committed my time and resources towards reaching out to the needy, providing support to widows and giving scholarships to orphans.

“I have also taught and mentored a lot of young women on the principles of building and living happily with their spouses through my various platforms both on and offline. I cannot go against my own beliefs,’ she said.

Mama Oritsejafor added: “Don’t forget that live is a seed. To carry a baseless news not supported is not only malicious but punishable under the law of the land.

“I plead with the general public to give my family the privacy it needs and disregard cheap attempts to dent my image.

“In retrospect to the fake news, I have briefed my lawyers and all necessary legal actions are being taken. Thank you all and stay blessed.”
