HOW OUR PASTOR BEWITCHED MY WIFE – MAN TELLS COURT
HOW OUR
PASTOR BEWITCHED MY WIFE – MAN TELLS COURT
A trader, identified as Blessing Oziomela, of No 11, Don Linus
Street, Ajao Estate, Lagos, has pleaded with a customary court sitting at the
Agege Local Government Council to dissolve her five-year-old marriage to her
husband, Emmanuel Oziomela.
Blessing yesterday told the court that her husband, Oziomela had
maltreated and threatened her life on many occasions.
The petitioner said, “When I realised I couldn’t continue living
with him that way, and I also realised my daughter was already imitating her
father’s behaviour, I had to pack out of the house in June 2018.
“After I left, he sent me a text message saying he only did me a
favour by marrying me.
“It is better I am alive to take care of my children than to be in
this abusive marriage. He has not even been supporting in the upbringing of the
children.”
But Oziomela, a 34-year-old trader residing at No 413, George
Crescent, Ogba, told the court that it was the pastor of the church they attend
who bewitched his wife.
“The problem started on the day I decided to stop attending the
church. Anytime I mention the pastor as the cause of our problem, my wife will
attack me and start her trouble again. When she packed away from my house, she
sent the bills of the children’s school fees to me and I sent money into her
bank account. Early October, my wife came with eight people who beat me up and
broke my door,” he said.
He pleaded innocent to all his wife’s allegations against him and
begged the court not to dissolve the marriage.
The court president, Mrs Patricia Adeyanju, adjourned the case
till December 4, 2018 for a possible alternative dispute resolution.
