Divorce rumors: Oritsejafor’s wife breaks silence

Helen, wife of Popular Nigerian Pastor, Ayo Oritsejafor, has dismissed news making the rounds that her marriage to the former President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), has crashed.

Some days ago, there were speculations that the marriage of the cleric and his wife had crashed after 25 years.

The reports claimed that the couple is now divorced and Helen has moved out of their matrimonial home with their kids to the UK.

But, in a statement on Monday, Helen dismissed the reports.

The statement reads, “Fam, my attention has been drawn to the fake and malicious news making rounds on blogs, social media platforms and the newspapers against my character and that of my 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 are 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.

“Don’t forget that life 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.”
