Christ Embassy Church and his wife, Pastor Anita, the estranged couple
have reportedly shared their two children.
While Sharon, the eldest, prefers Pastor Chris, Charlene is presently
with Anita.
Anita had last year April approached a London court, seeking a divorce
on the grounds of adultery among several allegations.
The suit, number FDI 4001650, was filed on her behalf by Attwaters
Jameson Hill Solicitors on April 9, 2014 at the Divorce Section A,
Central Family Court, First Avenue House, High Holborn, London, United
Kingdom.
Pastor Chris was served the divorce letters in his hotel room during
one of his visits to the UK.
Efforts to reach the camp of Pastor Chris last night proved abortive.
Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, had then denied the allegations leveled
against him by Anita and even threatened to sue media houses for
damaging his name and Church.
Last September, a statement by his counsel, Kemi Pinheiro (SAN),
described the allegation as "wicked and malicious", and an attempt to
bring Pastor Chris "to public opprobrium and ridicule."
Pinheiro said the adultery allegation "currently circulating in the
media was nothing but a complete distortion of facts in the pending
proceedings in the United Kingdom".
The lawyer warned media establishments to verify the authenticity of
their stories before publication, saying his counsel would take
appropriate legal actions against them to protect Pastor Chris
Oyakhilome's reputation and that of the church.
