Pastor Chris Oyakhilome is currently involved in the battle of his life, as his wife is fighting to divorce, citing ‘adultery’ as the cause.
The case has attracted significant media coverage, as the impending divorce of such a high profile couple whose work also impacts millions of people worldwide is certainly of interest to everyone.
Antia Oyakhilome released a statement yesterday through her lawyers, claiming the marriage was unsalvageable, and Pastor Chris has now responded in a statement of his own, also through his lawyers.
In the statement, the Christ Embassy founder denies the allegations of adultery, and threatened to take legal action against the media who he claims are distorting facts to damage his reputation.
The statement, released through his lawyer Mr Kemi Pinheiro, in read “The attention of our client, Rev. Chris Oyakhilome, and the church has been drawn to the wave of false, malicious and fabricated stories being published in the print and electronic media about his person, the church and a matrimonial cause between him and his wife”
The statement went on to chastise the media, claiming that the divorce is being used as a disguise to carry out selfish motives, aimed at bringing Pastor Chris and his church to public ridicule.
